Neither doe we find that this return, was by the Angels apparition again : but by the complement of the thing prom fled. when this time revivetb] or !ivetb ; that is, the nextyeere at this time : as appeareth by the accomplithmenc, Gen. 21.2.5. for then Abraham was an hundred yeere old,and now he was ninety nine, Gen.17,24.
