Genesis 17
Revised Webster's Bible
1And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673H8141 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 oldH1121, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 to him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549.1 2And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966. 3And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talkedH1696 with him, sayingH559,
4As for meH589, behold, my covenantH1285is with thee, and thou shalt be a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471.2 5Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471 have I made theeH5414.3 6And I will makeH6509 thee exceedinglyH3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall come forthH3318 from thee.
7And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 to thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310. 8And I will giveH5414 to thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310, the landH776 in which thou art a strangerH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and I will be their GodH430.4 9And GodH430 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, Thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285 therefore, thou, and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755. 10This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after theeH310; Every maleH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135. 11And ye shall circumciseH5243 the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall be a signH226 of the covenantH1285 between me and you. 12And he that is eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121 shall be circumcisedH4135 among you, every maleH2145 in your generationsH1755, he that is bornH3211 in the houseH1004, or boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of any strangerH1121H5236, who is not of thy seedH2233.5 13He that is bornH3211 in thy houseH1004, and he that is boughtH4736 with thy moneyH3701, must needsH4135 be circumcisedH4135: and my covenantH1285 shall be in your fleshH1320 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285. 14And the uncircumcisedH6189 maleH2145 whoseH834 fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190 is not circumcisedH4135, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971; he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
15And GodH430 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, As for SaraiH8297 thy wifeH802, thou shalt not callH7121 her nameH8034 SaraiH8297, butH3588 SarahH8283 shall her nameH8034 be .6 16And I will blessH1288 her, and giveH5414 thee a sonH1121 also by her: yea, I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peopleH5971 shall come from her.7 17Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 to him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, who is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205? 18And AbrahamH85 saidH559 to GodH430, O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 before theeH6440! 19And GodH430 saidH559, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall bearH3205 thee a sonH1121 indeedH61; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IsaacH3327: and I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with him for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, and with his seedH2233 after himH310. 20And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heard theeH8085: Behold, I have blessedH1288 him, and will make him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966; twelveH6240H8147 princesH5387 shall he begetH3205, and I will make himH5414 a greatH1419 nationH1471. 21But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, whom SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 to thee at this set timeH4150 in the nextH312 yearH8141. 22And he finishedH3615 talkingH1696 with him, and GodH430 went upH5927 from AbrahamH85.
23And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121, and all that were bornH3211 in his houseH1004, and all that were boughtH4736 with his moneyH3701, every maleH2145 among the menH582 of Abraham’sH85 houseH1004; and circumcisedH4135 the fleshH1320 of their foreskinH6190 in the sameH6106 dayH3117, as GodH430 had saidH1696 to him. 24And AbrahamH85 was ninetyH8673 and nineH8672 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190. 25And IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121 was thirteenH6240H7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190. 26In the sameH6106 dayH3117 was AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135, and IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121. 27And all the menH582 of his houseH1004, bornH3211 in the houseH1004, and boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of the strangerH1121H5236, were circumcisedH4135 with him.
