Genesis 17:5-14
5NoH3808 longerH5750 shall your nameH8034 be calledH7121 1AbramH87, But 2your nameH8034 shall be 3AbrahamH85; For 4I have madeH5414 you the fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471. 6I will makeH6509 you exceedinglyH3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of you, and 5kingsH4428 will comeH3318 forthH3318 from you. 7I will establishH6965 My covenantH1285 betweenH996 Me and you and your 6descendantsH2233 afterH310 you throughout their generationsH1755 for an 7everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, 8to be GodH430 to you and 9to your 10descendantsH2233 afterH310 you. 811I will giveH5414 to you and to your 12descendantsH2233 afterH310 you, the landH776 of your sojourningsH4033, allH3605 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and 13I will be their GodH430.”
9GodH430 saidH559 further to AbrahamH85, “Now as for you, 14you shall keepH8104 My covenantH1285, you and your 15descendantsH2233 afterH310 you throughout their generationsH1755. 1016ThisH2088 is My covenantH1285, whichH834 you shall keepH8104, betweenH996 Me and you and your 17descendantsH2233 afterH310 you: everyH3605 maleH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135. 11And 18you shall be circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190, and it shall be the signH226 of the covenantH1285 betweenH996 Me and you. 12And everyH3605 maleH2145 among you who is 19eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121 shall be circumcisedH4135 throughout your generationsH1755, a servant whoH3211 is bornH3211 in the houseH1004 or whoH4736 is boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 from anyH3605 foreignerH1121H5236, whoH834 is not of your 20descendantsH2233. 13A servant whoH3211 is bornH3211 in your houseH1004 or 21whoH4736 is boughtH4736 with your moneyH3701 shall surelyH4135 be circumcisedH4135; thus shall My covenantH1285 be in your fleshH1320 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285. 14But an uncircumcisedH6189 maleH2145 whoH834 is not circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190, that personH5315 shall be 22cutH3772 offH3772 from his peopleH5971; he has brokenH6565 My covenantH1285.”
