And they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren. And both were advanced in their days.

And behold, your cousin Elizabeth also conceived a son in her old age. And this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.

For behold, the days are coming in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts which did not suckle.

For it is written, "Rejoice, barren one not bearing; break forth and shout, you not travailing; for more are the children of the desolate than she having the husband."
