Genesis 17

CLV(i) 1 And coming is Abram to be ninety nine years of age. And appearing is Yahweh to Abram and is saying to him, "I am the El-Who-Suffices. Walk before Me and become flawless. 2 And giving am I My covenant between Me and you, and increasing am I you exceedingly exceedingly. 3 And falling is Abram on his face. 4 And speaking with him is the Elohim, saying, "I, behold! My covenant is with you. And you are to become the forefather of a throng of nations. 5 And no further shall your name be called Abram. Yet your name becomes Abraham, for the forefather of a throng of nations have I made you. 6 And fruitful I cause you to be exceedingly exceedingly. And I make of you nations, and kings from you shall fare forth. 7 And I set up My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, for their generations, for a covenant eonian, to become your Elohim and your seed's after you. 8 And I give to you and to your seed after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for a holding eonian. And I become their Elohim. 9 And saying is the Elohim to Abraham, "And you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you for their generations. 10 This is My covenant, which you shall keep between Me and you and your seed after you for their generations: Circumcise to yourselves every male. 11 And circumcised shall you be in the flesh of your foreskin. And it comes to be for a sign of the covenant between Me and you. 12 And a son of eight days shall be circumcised by you, every male of your generations, homeborn or acquired with money from any foreigner, he who is not of your seed. 13 With circumcision shall be circumcised the homeborn and the one acquired with your money. And My covenant comes to be in your flesh for a covenant eonian. 14 And the uncircumcised male, the flesh of whose foreskin was not circumcised in the eighth day, that soul also shall be cut off from his people. My covenant he annuls. 15 And saying is the Elohim to Abraham, "Sarai, your wife--you shall not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name. 16 And I bless her, and, moreover, I give you a son of her. And bless him will I and he comes to be for nations, and kings of peoples shall come from him. 17 Then falling is Abraham on his face. And laughing is he and saying in his heart, "To one a hundred years of age shall a son be born? And should Sarah, ninety years of age, be bearing? 18 And saying is Abraham to the Elohim, "O that Ishmael should live before You!" 19 And saying is the Elohim to Abraham, "Nevertheless, behold, Sarah, your wife is bearing you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I set up My covenant with him for a covenant eonian, and with his seed after him. 20 And as to Ishmael, behold! I hear you. Behold! Bless him do I, and fruitful do I make him, and increase him exceedingly exceedingly. Twelve princes shall he beget, and I make of him a great nation. 21 Yet My covenant will I set up with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear for you at this, the appointed time another year. 22 And finishing is He speaking with him, and ascending is the Elohim from Abraham. 23 And taking is Abraham Ishmael, his son, and all who are born in his household, and all acquired with his money, every male among the mortals of Abraham's household, and he is circumcising the flesh of their foreskin on this very day, as the Elohim had spoken to him. 24 And Abraham is ninety nine years of age at his circumcision in the flesh of his foreskin. 25 And Ishmael, his son, is thirteen years of age at his circumcision in the flesh of his foreskin. 26 On this very day is Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael, his son. 27 And all the mortals of his household, home-born or acquired with money from a foreigner of the nations, are circumcised with him.
