Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am God Almighty; walk before me and be blameless; |
| 2
|
and I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. |
| 3
|
And Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying:
|
| 4
|
I - this is My covenant with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations, |
| 5
|
and thou shalt be more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations; |
| 6
|
and I will greatly make thee fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come from you;
|
| 7
|
and I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee; |
| 8
|
and I will give thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. |
| 9
|
And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. |
| 10
|
This is my covenant, which you [have to] observe, between me and you and thy seed after thee will have you circumcised every male; |
| eleven
|
ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant between me and you. |
| 12
|
Eight days old shall be circumcised among you in your generations every [infant] male, born in the house, and bought with money from any foreigner who is not of thy seed. |
| 13
|
Be sure to be circumcised is born in your house or bought with your money, and my covenant shall be in your flesh an everlasting covenant. |
| 14
|
And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcise your foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people, [because] he hath broken my covenant.
|
| 15
|
And God said to Abraham: Sarai thy wife, do not call her Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah; |
| 16
|
I will bless her, and give thee a son from her; I will bless her, and come out of her nations, and kings of peoples will come from her. |
| 17
|
And Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said to himself, do a hundred years will have a son? and Sarah, ninety years old, bear? |
| 18
|
And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee! |
| 19
|
And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, [and] with his seed after him. |
| 20
|
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will I make it, and will greatly increase; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. |
| 21
|
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. |
| 22
|
And he left off talking with Abraham, and God went up from him.
|
| 23
|
And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said. |
| 24
|
Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in flesh of his foreskin. |
| 25
|
And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in flesh of his foreskin. |
| 26
|
On the same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son, |
| 27
|
and circumcised with him all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger. |
