Genesis 17:17-24
17AbrahamH85 fell facedownH5307H5921H6440. Then he laughedH6711 and saidH559 to himselfH3820, “Can a child be bornH3205H518 to a man who isH1121 a hundredH3967 years oldH8141? Can SarahH8283H1323 give birthH3205 at the age of ninetyH8673H8141?” 18And AbrahamH85 saidH559 toH413 GodH430, “O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 under YourH6440 blessing!”
19But GodH430 repliedH559, “Your wifeH802 SarahH8283 will indeedH61 bearH3205 you a sonH1121, and you are to nameH7121 himH8034 IsaacH3327.1 I will establishH6965 My covenantH1285 with himH854 as an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 for his descendantsH2233 after himH310. 20As for IshmaelH3458, I have heard youH8085, and I will surelyH2009 blessH1288 himH853; I will make him fruitfulH6509 and multiplyH7235 himH853 greatlyH3966. He will become the fatherH3205 of twelveH8147H6240 rulersH5387, and I will make himH5414 into a greatH1419 nationH1471. 21ButH853 I will establishH6965 My covenantH1285 withH854 IsaacH3327, whomH834 SarahH8283 will bearH3205 to you at thisH2088 timeH4150 nextH312 yearH8141.”
22When He had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 withH854 Abraham, GodH430 went upH5927 fromH5921 him.
23On thatH2088 veryH6106 dayH3117 AbrahamH85 tookH3947 his sonH1121 IshmaelH3458 and allH3605 those bornH3211 in his householdH1004 or purchasedH4736 with his moneyH3701H3605—everyH3605 maleH2145 among the membersH582 of Abraham’sH85 householdH1004—and he circumcised themH4135H853H1320H6190, just asH834 GodH430 had toldH1696 himH854.
24So AbrahamH85 was ninety-nineH8673H8672 years oldH1121H8141 when he was circumcisedH1320H6190H4135,
