Genesis 17

1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am your God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.

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.

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

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

3 And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying,

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

4 And I, behold! my covenant [is] with you, and you shall be a father of a multitude of nations.

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

5 And your name shall no more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraam, for I have made you a father of many nations.

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.

6 And I will increase you very exceedingly, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

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

7 And I will establish my covenant between you and your seed after you, to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be your God, and [the God] of your seed after you.

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.

8 And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land wherein you sojourn, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

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.

9 And God said to Abraam, You also shall fully keep my covenant, you and your seed after you for their generations.

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

10 And this [is] the covenant which you shall fully keep between me and you, and between your seed after you for their generations; every male of you shall be circumcised.

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.

11 And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.

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

12 And the child of eight days [old] shall be circumcised by you, every male throughout your generations, and [the servant] born in the house and he that is bought with money, of every son of a stranger, who is not of your seed.

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.

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

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.

14 And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from its family, for he has broken my covenant.

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.

15 And God said to Abraam, Sara your wife—her name shall not be called Sara, Sarrha shall be her name.

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

16 And I will bless her, and give you a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.

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.

17 And Abraam fell upon his face, and laughed; and spoke in his heart, saying, Shall there be a child to one who is a hundred years old, and shall Sarrha who is ninety years old, bear?

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?

18 And Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before you.

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

19 And God said to Abraam, Yes, behold, Sarrha your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to him and to his seed after him.

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.

20 And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard you, and, behold, I have blessed him, and will increase him and multiply him exceedingly; twelve nations shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

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.

21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to you at this time, in the next year.

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

22 And he left off speaking with him, and God went up from Abraam.

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

23 And Abraam took Ismael his son, and all his home-born [servants], and all those bought with money, and every male of the men in the house of Abraam, and he circumcised their foreskins in the time of that day, according as God spoke to him.

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.

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

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

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

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

26 And at the period of that day, Abraam was circumcised, and Ismael his son,

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

27 and all the men of his house, both those born in the house, and those bought with money of foreign nations.

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