Genesis 17

1 Kui Aabram oli üheksakümmend üheksa aastat vana, siis Issand ilmutas ennast Aabramile ja ütles temale: 'Mina olen Kõigeväeline Jumal, käi minu palge ees ja ole vaga!

2 Ma teen lepingu enese ja sinu vahel ja teen sind väga paljuks.'

3 Siis Aabram heitis silmili maha ja Jumal rääkis temaga, öeldes:

4 'See olen mina! Vaata, mu leping sinuga on, et sina saad paljude rahvaste isaks.

5 Sinu nime ei hüüta siis enam Aabramiks, vaid su nimi olgu Aabraham, sest ma teen sind paljude rahvaste isaks!

6 Ma teen sind väga viljakaks ja lasen sind rahvaiks saada, kuningadki põlvnevad sinust.

7 Ma teen lepingu enese ja sinu vahel, ja sinu soo vahel pärast sind, igaveseks lepinguks sugupõlvedele, et ma olen Jumalaks sinule ja su soole pärast sind.

8 Ja ma annan sinule ja su soole pärast sind selle maa, kus sa võõrana elad, kogu Kaananimaa, igaveseks omandiks. Ja mina olen neile Jumalaks!'

9 Ja Jumal ütles Aabrahamile: 'Ja sina pead mu lepingut pidama, sina ja su sugu pärast sind põlvest põlve.

10 See on minu leping minu ja teie ning sinu soo vahel pärast sind, mida te peate pidama: kõik meesterahvad tuleb teil ümber lõigata!

11 Te peate oma eesnaha liha ümber lõikama ja see olgu minu ja teie vahelise lepingu märgiks.

12 Kaheksapäevastena tuleb teil ümber lõigata kõik teie meesterahvad põlvkondade viisi, olgu peres sündinud, olgu raha eest ostetud ükskõik missuguselt võõralt, kes sinu soost ei ole,

13 kindlasti tuleb ümber lõigata niihästi su peres sündinu kui su raha eest ostetu. Minu leping peab teie ihu küljes olema igavese lepinguna!

14 Aga eesnahaga meesterahvas, kelle eesnaha liha ei ole ümber lõigatud, tuleb hävitada oma rahva seast: ta on tühistanud minu lepingu!'

15 Ja Jumal ütles Aabrahamile: 'Saaraid, oma naist, ära hüüa enam Saaraiks, vaid tema nimi olgu Saara!

16 Ma õnnistan teda ja annan ka temalt sulle poja. Ma õnnistan teda nõnda, et ta saab rahvaiks, rahvaste kuningadki põlvnevad temast.'

17 Siis Aabraham heitis silmili maha, naeris ja ütles oma südames: 'Kas peaks saja-aastasele poeg sündima? Või peaks üheksakümneaastane Saara sünnitama?'

18 Ja Aabraham ütles Jumalale: 'Kui ainult Ismaelgi sinu ees jääks elama!'

19 Siis ütles Jumal: 'Siiski, su naine Saara sünnitab sulle poja ja sa pead panema temale nimeks Iisak. Ja ma teen temaga lepingu, igaveseks lepinguks tema soole pärast teda.

20 Aga ka Ismaeli pärast ma olen sind kuulnud. Vaata, ma õnnistan teda ja teen ta viljakaks ning väga arvurikkaks. Temast sünnib kaksteist vürsti ja ma teen ta suureks rahvaks.

21 Kuid oma lepingu teen ma Iisakiga, kelle Saara sulle sünnitab tuleval aastal selsamal ajal.'

22 Kui Jumal oli lõpetanud kõneluse Aabrahamiga, siis ta läks tema juurest üles.

23 Ja Aabraham võttis oma poja Ismaeli ja kõik oma peres sündinud, ja kõik raha eest ostetud, kõik meesterahvad Aabrahami pere inimeste hulgast, ja lõikas ümber nende eesnaha liha, otse selsamal päeval, nõnda nagu Jumal teda oli käskinud.

24 Aabraham oli üheksakümmend üheksa aastat vana, kui ta eesnaha liha ümber lõigati.

25 Ja Ismael, tema poeg, oli kolmteist aastat vana, kui ta eesnaha liha ümber lõigati.

26 Otse selsamal päeval lõigati ümber Aabraham ja tema poeg Ismael;

27 ja kõik ta pere mehed, peres sündinud ja võõrastelt raha eest ostetud, lõigati ümber koos temaga.

2035. 'Throughout their generations' means the things that comprise faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations', and of descendants, as the things that comprise faith, dealt with in 613, 1145, 1255, 1330. And that things of love and faith are like blood relatives and relatives by marriage, see 685, 917.

Genesis 17

Lernen

   

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.

2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."

3 Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

4 "As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

5 Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

8 I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God."

9 God said to Abraham, "As for you, you will keep my covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.

10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

12 He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your seed.

13 He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."

15 God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.

16 I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."

17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"

18 Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you!"

19 God said, "No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

21 But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."

22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who 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 Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
