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

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

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

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;

As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many 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;

Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many 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 forth from 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 will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land in which thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their 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 Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, 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; Every male among 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 circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it 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 he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of 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 that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs 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 whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; 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 for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

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 also by her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall come from 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?'

Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is an 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, O 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 bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with 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 as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; 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 set time in the next year.

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

And he finished 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 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 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 and 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 same 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 the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
