Genesis 17

1 And Abram is a son of ninety-nine years, and YHWH appears to Abram, and says to him, “I [am] God Almighty, habitually walk before Me, and be perfect;

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.

2 and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”

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

3 And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,

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

4 “I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;

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

5 and your name is no longer called Abram, but your name has been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you;

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.

6 and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.

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

7 And I have established My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant, to become God to you, and to your seed after you;

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.

8 and I have given to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a continuous possession, and I have become their God.”

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.

9 And God says to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout their generations;

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

10 this [is] My covenant which you keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: every male of you [is] to be circumcised;

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.

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

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.

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

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.

13 he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in your house, or bought with your money; and My covenant has become in your flesh a perpetual covenant;

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.

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

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.

15 And God says to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

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

16 and I have blessed her, and have also given to you a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she has become nations—kings of peoples are from her.”

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.

17 And Abraham falls on his face, and laughs, and says in his heart, “Is one born to the son of one hundred years? Or does Sarah—daughter of ninety years—bear?”

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?

18 And Abraham says to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”;

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

19 and God says, “Your wife Sarah is certainly bearing a son to you, and you have called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a perpetual covenant, to his seed after him.

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.

20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes does he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

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.

21 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”;

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

22 and He finishes speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham.

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

23 And Abraham takes his son Ishmael, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money—every male among the men of Abraham’s house and circumcises the flesh of their foreskin, in this very same day, as God has spoken with him.

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.

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

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

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

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

26 in this very same day Abraham has been circumcised, and his son Ishmael;

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

27 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.

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