1 εγενετο δε αβραμ ετων ενενηκοντα εννεα και ωφθη κυριος τω αβραμ και ειπεν αυτω εγω ειμι ο θεος σου ευαρεστει εναντιον εμου και γινου αμεμπτος

2 και θησομαι την διαθηκην μου ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον σου και πληθυνω σε σφοδρα

3 και επεσεν αβραμ επι προσωπον αυτου και ελαλησεν αυτω ο θεος λεγων

4 και εγω ιδου η διαθηκη μου μετα σου και εση πατηρ πληθους εθνων

5 και ου κληθησεται ετι το ονομα σου αβραμ αλλ' εσται το ονομα σου αβρααμ οτι πατερα πολλων εθνων τεθεικα σε

6 και αυξανω σε σφοδρα σφοδρα και θησω σε εις εθνη και βασιλεις εκ σου εξελευσονται

7 και στησω την διαθηκην μου ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον σου και ανα μεσον του σπερματος σου μετα σε εις γενεας αυτων εις διαθηκην αιωνιον ειναι σου θεος και του σπερματος σου μετα σε

8 και δωσω σοι και τω σπερματι σου μετα σε την γην ην παροικεις πασαν την γην χανααν εις κατασχεσιν αιωνιον και εσομαι αυτοις θεος

9 και ειπεν ο θεος προς αβρααμ συ δε την διαθηκην μου διατηρησεις συ και το σπερμα σου μετα σε εις τας γενεας αυτων

10 και αυτη η διαθηκη ην διατηρησεις ανα μεσον εμου και υμων και ανα μεσον του σπερματος σου μετα σε εις τας γενεας αυτων περιτμηθησεται υμων παν αρσενικον

11 και περιτμηθησεσθε την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας υμων και εσται εν σημειω διαθηκης ανα μεσον εμου και υμων

12 και παιδιον οκτω ημερων περιτμηθησεται υμιν παν αρσενικον εις τας γενεας υμων ο οικογενης της οικιας σου και ο αργυρωνητος απο παντος υιου αλλοτριου ος ουκ εστιν εκ του σπερματος σου

13 περιτομη περιτμηθησεται ο οικογενης της οικιας σου και ο αργυρωνητος και εσται η διαθηκη μου επι της σαρκος υμων εις διαθηκην αιωνιον

14 και απεριτμητος αρσην ος ου περιτμηθησεται την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτου τη ημερα τη ογδοη εξολεθρευθησεται η ψυχη εκεινη εκ του γενους αυτης οτι την διαθηκην μου διεσκεδασεν

15 ειπεν δε ο θεος τω αβρααμ σαρα η γυνη σου ου κληθησεται το ονομα αυτης σαρα αλλα σαρρα εσται το ονομα αυτης

16 ευλογησω δε αυτην και δωσω σοι εξ αυτης τεκνον και ευλογησω αυτον και εσται εις εθνη και βασιλεις εθνων εξ αυτου εσονται

17 και επεσεν αβρααμ επι προσωπον και εγελασεν και ειπεν εν τη διανοια αυτου λεγων ει τω εκατονταετει γενησεται και ει σαρρα ενενηκοντα ετων ουσα τεξεται

18 ειπεν δε αβρααμ προς τον θεον ισμαηλ ουτος ζητω εναντιον σου

19 ειπεν δε ο θεος τω αβρααμ ναι ιδου σαρρα η γυνη σου τεξεται σοι υιον και καλεσεις το ονομα αυτου ισαακ και στησω την διαθηκην μου προς αυτον εις διαθηκην αιωνιον και τω σπερματι αυτου μετ' αυτον

20 περι δε ισμαηλ ιδου επηκουσα σου ιδου ευλογησα αυτον και αυξανω αυτον και πληθυνω αυτον σφοδρα δωδεκα εθνη γεννησει και δωσω αυτον εις εθνος μεγα

21 την δε διαθηκην μου στησω προς ισαακ ον τεξεται σοι σαρρα εις τον καιρον τουτον εν τω ενιαυτω τω ετερω

22 συνετελεσεν δε λαλων προς αυτον και ανεβη ο θεος απο αβρααμ

23 και ελαβεν αβρααμ ισμαηλ τον υιον αυτου και παντας τους οικογενεις αυτου και παντας τους αργυρωνητους και παν αρσεν των ανδρων των εν τω οικω αβρααμ και περιετεμεν τας ακροβυστιας αυτων εν τω καιρω της ημερας εκεινης καθα ελαλησεν αυτω ο θεος

24 αβρααμ δε ην ενενηκοντα εννεα ετων ηνικα περιετεμεν την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτου

25 ισμαηλ δε ο υιος αυτου ετων δεκα τριων ην ηνικα περιετμηθη την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτου

26 εν τω καιρω της ημερας εκεινης περιετμηθη αβρααμ και ισμαηλ ο υιος αυτου

27 και παντες οι ανδρες του οικου αυτου και οι οικογενεις και οι αργυρωνητοι εξ αλλογενων εθνων περιετεμεν αυτους

1997. I will multiply thee very exceedingly. That this signifies the fruitfulness to infinity of the affection of truth, may be seen from the signification of “to be multiplied,” as being predicated of truth (explained, n. 43, 55, 913, 983); and as the Lord is treated of, it signifies the fruitfulness to infinity of the truth that is from good (as before, n. 1940). There are two affections, namely, the affection of good, and the affection of truth. The affection of good is to do what is good from the love of good, and the affection of truth is to do what is good from the love of truth. At the first view these two affections appear to be the same; but in reality they are distinct from each other both as to essence and as to origin. The affection of good, or doing what is good from the love of good, is properly of the will; but the affection of truth, or doing what is good from the love of truth, is properly of the understanding. Thus these two affections are distinct from each other in the same way as are the will and the understanding. The affection of good is from celestial love, but the affection of truth is from spiritual love.

[2] The affection of good can be predicated solely of the celestial man, but the affection of truth, of the spiritual man. What the celestial or the celestial man is, and what the spiritual or the spiritual man, has been sufficiently shown in Part First. The Most Ancient Church, which existed before the flood, was in the affection of good; but the Ancient Church, which existed after the flood, was in the affection of truth; for the former was a celestial church, but the latter a spiritual church. All the angels in the heavens are distinguished into the celestial and the spiritual. The celestial are they who are in the affection of good, the spiritual are they who are in the affection of truth; to the former the Lord appears as a sun, but to the latter as a moon (n. 1529-1531, 1838). This latter affection, of truth, the Lord united to the affection of good, which is to do what is good from the love of good, when He united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence. Hence by “multiplying very exceedingly,” is signified the fruitfulness to infinity of the truth that is from good.

Genesis 17

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.
