And they had no son, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

And behold Elizabeth, your relative, even she is pregnant with a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her called barren;

For behold, days come in which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and those who have not borne children, and the breasts which have not nursed them!

for it is written, Rejoice, barren woman, that did not bear, break forth and cry, woman that had no pain, for the children of the desolate are more numerous than those of her who had a husband.
