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, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the Almighty God: walk before my face, and be perfect.

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

And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.

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

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

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

It is 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 Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

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

And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, 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 me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to 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 give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a God to them.

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 Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in 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;

This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee — that every male among you 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 circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the 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 at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you — he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any 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 who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in 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 hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath 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 Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah 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 I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.

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 Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

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

And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might 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, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for 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 for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes 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 my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.

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

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

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 Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money — every male among the people of Abraham's house — and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.

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

And Abraham 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 Ishmael 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;

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael 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, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
