Genesis 17:17-24
17Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 uponH5921 his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a childH1121 be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1121, bearH3205?
18And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto GodH430, OhH3863 that IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 beforeH6440 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 everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 for his seedH2233 afterH310 him.
20And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heardH8085 thee: beholdH2009, I have blessedH1288 him, and will makeH5414 him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966; twelveH6240 princesH5387 shall he begetH3205, and I will makeH5414 him a greatH1419 nationH1471.
21But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, whichH834 SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 unto thee at this setH6965 time in the nextH312 yearH8141.
22And he leftH5927 offH5921 talkingH1696 with him, and GodH430 wentH5927 upH5927 from AbrahamH85.
23And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121, and allH3605 that were bornH3211 in his houseH1004, and allH3605 that were boughtH4736 with his moneyH3701, everyH3605 maleH2145 among the menH376 of Abraham’sH85 houseH1004, and circumcisedH4135 the fleshH1320 of their foreskinH6190 in the selfsame dayH3117, as GodH430 had saidH1696 unto him.
24And AbrahamH85 was ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
