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.
