1 Když pak Abram byl v devadesáti devíti letech, ukázal se mu Hospodin, a řekl jemu: Já jsem Bůh silný všemohoucí; chodiž ustavičně přede mnou a budiž dokonalým.

2 A učiním smlouvu svou mezi sebou a tebou a rozmnožím tě náramně velmi.

3 Padl pak Abram na tvář svou; i mluvil Bůh s ním, řka:

4 Jáť jsem, aj, smlouva má s tebou, a budeš otcem národů mnohých.

5 Aniž více slouti bude jméno tvé Abram, ale bude jméno tvé Abraham; nebo otcem mnohých národů učinil jsem tě.

6 A učiním, abys se rozplodil náramně velmi, a rozšířím tě v národy; i králové z tebe vyjdou.

7 Utvrdím také smlouvu svou mezi sebou a tebou, i mezi semenem tvým po tobě, po rodech jejich, za smlouvu věčnou, totiž abych byl Bohem tvým i semene tvého po tobě.

8 Nadto dám tobě i semeni tvému po tobě zemi, v nížto obýváš pohostinu, všecku zemi Kananejskou k vládařství věčnému; a budu jejich Bohem.

9 Řekl ještě Bůh Abrahamovi: Ty pak ostříhati budeš smlouvy mé, ty i símě tvé po tobě, po rodech svých.

10 Tatoť jest smlouva má mezi mnou a mezi vámi, i mezi semenem tvým po tobě, kteréž ostříhati budete: Aby obřezán byl mezi vámi každý pohlaví mužského.

11 Obřežete pak tělo hanby své; a to bude znamením smlouvy mezi mnou a mezi vámi.

12 Každý tedy pohlaví mužského osmého dne obřezán bude mezi vámi po rodech vašich, doma narozený i koupený za stříbro, z kterých by koli cizozemců byl, jenž není z semene tvého.

13 Konečně ať jest obřezán narozený v domě tvém, i koupený za peníze tvé; a budeť smlouva má na těle vašem za smlouvu věčnou.

14 Neobřezaný pak pacholík, kterýž by neobřezal těla neobřízky své, vyhlazena zajisté bude duše ta z lidu svého; nebo smlouvu mou zrušil.

15 Řekl také Bůh Abrahamovi: Sarai manželce své nebudeš říkati Sarai, ale Sára bude jméno její.

16 Nebo požehnám jí a dámť z ní syna; požehnámť jí, a bude v národy; králové národů z ní vyjdou.

17 Tedy padl Abraham na tvář svou, a zasmáv se, řekl v srdci svém: Zdali stoletému narodí se syn? A zdali Sára v devadesáti letech porodí?

18 I řekl Abraham Bohu: Ó byť jen Izmael živ byl před tebou!

19 Jemužto řekl Bůh: Nýbrž Sára manželka tvá porodí tobě syna, a nazůveš jméno jeho Izák; i utvrdím smlouvu svou s ním za smlouvu věčnou, i s semenem jeho po něm.

20 Také o Izmaele uslyšel jsem tě; a aj, požehnám jemu, a učiním to, aby se rozplodil, a rozmnožím ho náramně velmi; dvanáctero knížat zplodí, a rozšířím jej v národ veliký.

21 Ale smlouvu svou utvrdím s Izákem, kteréhožť porodí Sára po roce, při tomto času.

22 A když dokonal Bůh řeč svou s ním, vstoupil od Abrahama.

23 Vzal tedy Abraham Izmaele syna svého, i všecky zrozené v domě svém, i všecky koupené za stříbro své, každého, kdož byl pohlaví mužského, z domácích svých, a obřezal tělo neobřízky jejich hned v ten den, jakž s ním Bůh mluvil.

24 A byl Abraham v devadesáti devíti letech, když obřezáno bylo tělo neobřízky jeho.

25 Izmael pak syn jeho byl v třinácti letech, když obřezáno bylo tělo neobřízky jeho.

26 Jednoho a téhož dne obřezáni jsou, Abraham a Izmael syn jeho.

27 I všickni domácí jeho, doma zrození i za stříbro od cizozemce koupení, obřezáni jsou s ním.

2094. The previous chapter and the present chapter up to this point have dealt with the conception and birth of the Rational within the Lord; and how this was made Divine is also dealt with in what follows. But some may possibly suppose that knowing these details does not contribute very much to faith, provided one knows that the Lord's Human Essence was made Divine and that the Lord is God as regards both Essences. The position however is this: People who in simplicity believe it to be so do not need to know how it became so, for the only reason for their knowing how it became so is so that they may believe that it is so.

[2] There are many at the present day who do not believe anything unless they know it to be so from reason, as is made quite clear from the fact that few believe in the Lord, although they make lip confession of belief for the reason that the doctrine of faith so teaches. Nevertheless they tell themselves and one another that if they knew it could be so they would believe. The reason they do not believe and yet say this is that the Lord was born as any other is born and to outward appearance was like any other. These people cannot possibly receive any faith unless they first of all grasp in some measure how it can be so. This is why these matters have been explained. Those who believe the Word in simplicity do not need to know all these details because they have already arrived at the end which those who have just been described cannot reach except by becoming acquainted with such details.

[3] What is more, these are the details which are contained in the internal sense, and the internal sense is the Word of the Lord in heaven. Those who are in heaven perceive it in this fashion. When someone is in touch with the truth, that is, with the internal sense, he is able to make one as to thought with those in heaven, even though his ideas are by comparison very general and very obscure. The celestial ones there, who possess faith itself, see that those things are so from good, whereas the spiritual ones see the same from truth. The spiritual ones are also confirmed, and in that way perfected, by such things as are contained in the internal sense, that confirmation being achieved however by means of thousands of interior reasons which cannot flow into man's pattern of thought so as to be perceived there.

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.
