Genesis 17:4-14

4It is I: behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt beH1961 a fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471.

5And thy nameH8034 shall no more beH1961 calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall beH1961 AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471 have I madeH5414 thee.

6And I will makeH5414 thee exceedinglyH3966 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 in their generationsH1755, for an everlasting covenantH1285, to beH1961 a 1GodH430 to thee, and to thy seedH2233 after thee.

8And I giveH5414 to thee, and to thy seedH2233 after thee, the landH776 of thy sojourning, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlasting possessionH272; and I will beH1961 a 2GodH430 to them.

9And 3GodH430 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285, thou and thy seedH2233 after thee in their generationsH1755.

10This is my covenantH1285 which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after thee — that every maleH2145 among you be circumcisedH4135.

11And ye shall circumcise the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and [that] shall beH1961 a signH226 of the covenantH1285 between me and you.

12And at eightH8083 daysH3117 old shall every maleH2145 in your generationsH1755 be circumcisedH4135 among you — he who is born in the houseH1004, and he who is bought with moneyH3701, any stranger who is not of thy seedH2233.

13He who is born in thy houseH1004, and he who is bought with thy moneyH3701, must beH1961 circumcisedH4135; and my covenantH1285 shall beH1961 in your fleshH1320 for an everlasting covenantH1285.

14And the uncircumcisedH6189 maleH2145 who hath not been circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190, that soulH5315 shall be cutH3772 off from his peoplesH5971: he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
