chapter_Genesis_17
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; Genesis 17:2: and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.' Genesis 17:3: And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying, Genesis 17:4: I &#8212; lo, My covenant is with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations; Genesis 17:5: 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; Genesis 17:6: and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee. Genesis 17:7: '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; Genesis 17:8: 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.' Genesis 17:9: And God saith unto Abraham, 'And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations; Genesis 17:10: this is My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you is to be circumcised; Genesis 17:11: and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you. Genesis 17:12: '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; Genesis 17:13: 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; Genesis 17:14: 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.' Genesis 17:15: And God saith unto Abraham, 'Sarai thy wife &#8212; thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name; Genesis 17:16: 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 &#8212; kings of peoples are from her.' Genesis 17:17: 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 &#8212; daughter of ninety years &#8212; bear?' Genesis 17:18: And Abraham saith unto God, 'O that Ishmael may live before Thee;' Genesis 17:19: 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. Genesis 17:20: 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; Genesis 17:21: and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;' Genesis 17:22: and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham. Genesis 17:23: And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money &#8212; every male among the men of Abraham's house &#8212; and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him. Genesis 17:24: And Abraham is a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised; Genesis 17:25: and Ishmael his son is a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised; Genesis 17:26: in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son; Genesis 17:27: and all the men of his house &#8212; born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger &#8212; have been circumcised with him.
