Genesis 17

1 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

And I, behold! my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.

5 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;

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

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

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

7 '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;

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

8 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.'

And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land wherein thou sojournest, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be to them a God.

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

And God said to Abraam, Thou also shalt fully keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee for their generations.

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

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

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

And ye 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 to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy 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 thy seed.

13 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;

He that is born in thy 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, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath 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 saith unto Abraham, 'Sarai thy wife — thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

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

16 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.'

And I will bless her, and give thee 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 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?'

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

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

19 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.

And God said to Abraam, Yea, behold, Sarrha thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt 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 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;

And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard thee, 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 doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'

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

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

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

23 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.

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

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.
