1
And Abram was a son of ninety years and nine years; and Jehovah appeared to▵ Abram , and said to▵ him, I◦ am God◦ Shaddai*; walk thou before Me, and be thou perfect .
2
And I will give My covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee very exceedingly.
3
And Abram fell on his faces ; and God spoke with◦ him saying:
4
I◦, behold, My covenant is with◦ thee, and thou shalt be for a father of a multitude◦ of nations .
5
And thy name shall no◦ more◦ be called Abram ; and thy name shall be Abraham , for as the father of a multitude◦ of nations have I given thee.
6
And I will make· thee ·fruitful very exceedingly, and I will make thee into◦ nations , and kings shall go··out from thee.
7
And I will raise··up My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee, to their generations , for an eternal covenant, to be to thee for God , and to thy seed after thee.
8
And I will give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings , all the land of Canaan , for an eternal possession◦; and I will be to them for God .
9
And God said to▵ Abraham , And thou◦ shalt keep My covenant, thou◦ and thy seed after thee, to their generations .
10
This is My covenant, which you shall keep , between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male shall be circumcised to you.
11
And you shall cut··off▫ 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 shall be circumcised to you, every male in your generations , he that is born of the house , and he that is bought with silver from every son of a foreigner who is not of thy seed .
13
Circumcising he shall be circumcised that is born in thy house , and he that is bought with thy silver ; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an eternal covenant.
14
And the uncircumcised male, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin , that◦ soul shall be cut··off from his peoples; he has made· My covenant ·of··none··effect.
15
And God said to▵ Abraham , Sarai thy wife , thou shalt not call her name Sarai , for Sarah is her name .
16
And I will bless her, and will also give to thee a son from her; and I will bless her, and she shall be for nations ; kings of peoples shall be from her.
17
And Abraham fell upon his faces , and laughed, and said in his heart , Shall◦ one be··born to a son of a hundred years? And shall Sarah , who is a daughter of ninety years , give··birth ?
18
And Abraham said to▵ God , Would··that Ishmael might live before Thee!
19
And God said , Indeed Sarah , thy wife , shall give··birth to a son for thee, and thou shalt call his name Isaac ; and I will raise··up My covenant with◦ him for an eternal covenant, to his seed after him.
20
And as for Ishmael , I have heard thee; behold I will bless him, and will make· him ·fruitful , and will multiply him very exceedingly; twelve chiefs shall he beget , and I will make him into◦ a great nation .
21
And My covenant will I raise··up with◦ Isaac , to whom Sarah shall give··birth for thee at this appointed··time in the year after.
22
And He completed speaking with◦ him; and God went··up from over Abraham .
23
And Abraham took Ishmael his son , and all that were born in his house , and all that were bought with his silver , every male among◦ the men◦ of Abraham ’s house , and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in this same day , as◦ God spoke with◦ him.
24
And Abraham was a son of ninety and nine years, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin .
25
And Ishmael his son was a son of thirteen years , when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin .
26
In this same day was Abraham circumcised , and Ishmael his son .
27
And all the men◦ of his house , he that was born in the house , and he that was bought with silver from the son of a foreigner , were circumcised with him.
