Genesis 17

1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be you perfect.

And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, 'I [am] God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;

2 And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.

and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'

3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,

4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

'I — lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

5 Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you.

and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

6 And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you, and to your seed after you.

'And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

8 And I will give unto you, and to your seed after you, the land wherein you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'

9 And God said unto Abraham, You shall keep my covenant therefore, you, and your seed after you in their generations.

And God saith unto Abraham, 'And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;

10 This is my covenant, which all of you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you; Every male child among you shall be circumcised.

this [is] My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you [is] to be circumcised;

11 And all of you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you.

and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.

12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of your seed.

'And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed;

13 He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must essentially be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;

14 And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.

and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.'

15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

And God saith unto Abraham, 'Sarai thy wife — thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

16 And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations — kings of peoples are from her.'

17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, 'To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah — daughter of ninety years — bear?'

18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before you!

And Abraham saith unto God, 'O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'

19 And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed; and you shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

and God saith, 'Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.

20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he brought forth, and I will make him a great nation.

As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto you at this set time in the next year.

and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'

22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.

23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the very same day, as God had said unto him.

And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money — every male among the men of Abraham's house — and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.

24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

And Abraham [is] a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

and Ishmael his son [is] a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

26 In the very same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

and all the men of his house — born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger — have been circumcised with him.
