³ Abram tell flat on his face.

⁴ And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father. of many nations.

⁵ Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations.

⁶ And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

¹⁷ Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?

¹⁸ And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.

¹⁹ And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him.

²⁰ And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.

²¹ But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year.

²⁴ Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.

²⁵ And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision.
