At that time his name was Abram and when God made a sign of a covenant He changed his name to Abraham, He was 99 years old. Ishmael was born of an Egyptian slave girl given to Abram from his wife Sarai later changed to Sarah in between Abraham age of 75 to 99. Isaac was born when Abraham was100 years old by his wife Sarah who now was able to concieve and give birth through relations as was the will of God.
