In Genesis 18, three visitors came to Abraham, who are often interpreted as angels or a manifestation of God. One of them, identified as the Lord, told Abraham that Sarah would bear a son within a year, despite her old age. This announcement was met with disbelief from Sarah, leading to a discussion about the power of God and the promise of a child. The visit also included a forewarning about the impending judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah.

Does the bible say Abraham was old and impotent?

There is a verse in Genesis ch.18 in which, after being told that they would have a son, Sarah exclaims that her husband Abraham is already old (he was 100 years old at the time). Impotence is not mentioned openly (concerning Abraham). Soon after, however, (Genesis ch.21) Abraham did have a son (Isaac); and, after Sarah died (Genesis ch.23), he later had six more sons through Keturah (Genesis ch.25).
