Genesis 17
American Standard Version
1And when AbramH87 wasH1961 ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 old and nineH8672, Jehovah appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am GodH410 AlmightyH7706; walkH1980 before me, and beH1961 thou perfectH8549. 2And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966. 3And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talked with him, sayingH559, 4As for me, behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt beH1961 the fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471. 5Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more beH1961 calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall beH1961 AbrahamH85; for the fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471 have I madeH5414 thee. 6And I will makeH5414 thee exceeding fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall comeH3318 out of thee. 7And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after thee throughout their generationsH1755 for an everlasting covenantH1285, to beH1961 a GodH430 unto thee and to thy seedH2233 after thee. 8And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after thee, the landH776 of thy sojourningsH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlasting possessionH272; and I will beH1961 their GodH430.
9And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, And as for thee, thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285, thou, and thy seedH2233 after thee throughout their generationsH1755. 10This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after thee: every maleH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135. 11And ye shall beH1961 circumcised in the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall beH1961 a token of a covenantH1285 betwixt me and you. 12And he that is eightH8083 daysH3117 old shall be circumcisedH4135 among you, every maleH2145 throughout your generationsH1755, he that is born in the houseH1004, or bought with moneyH3701 of any foreigner that is not of thy seedH2233. 13He that is born in thy houseH1004, and he that is bought with thy moneyH3701, must needs beH1961 circumcisedH4135: and my covenantH1285 shall beH1961 in your fleshH1320 for an everlasting covenantH1285. 14And the uncircumcisedH6189 maleH2145 who is not circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190, that soulH5315 shall be cutH3772 off from his peopleH5971; he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
15And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, As for SaraiH8297 thy wifeH802, thou shalt not callH7121 her nameH8034 SaraiH8297, but SarahH8283 shall her nameH8034 be. 16And I will blessH1288 her, and moreover I will giveH5414 thee a sonH1121 of her: yea, I will blessH1288 her, and she shall beH1961 a mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peoplesH5971 shall beH1961 of her. 17Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is a hundredH3967 yearsH8141 old? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 old, bearH3205? 18And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto GodH430, Oh that IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 before thee! 19And GodH430 saidH559, Nay, but SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall bearH3205 thee a sonH1121; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IsaacH3327: and I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with him for an everlasting covenantH1285 for his seedH2233 after him. 20And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heardH8085 thee: behold, I have blessedH1288 him, and will makeH5414 him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966; twelve princesH5387 shall he beget, and I will makeH5414 him a greatH1419 nationH1471. 21But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, whom SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 unto thee at this setH6965 timeH4150 in the next yearH8141.
22And he left off talking with him, and GodH430 wentH5927 up from AbrahamH85. 23And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121, and all that were born in his houseH1004, and all that were bought with his moneyH3701, every maleH2145 among the menH376 of Abraham’s houseH1004, and circumcisedH4135 the fleshH1320 of their foreskinH6190 in the selfsame dayH3117, as GodH430 had saidH1696 unto him. 24And AbrahamH85 was ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 old and nineH8672, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190. 25And IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121 was thirteen yearsH8141 old, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190. 26In the selfsame dayH3117 was AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135, and IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121. 27And all the menH376 of his houseH1004, those born in the houseH1004, and those bought with moneyH3701 of a foreigner, were circumcisedH4135 with him.
