1 And Abram was a son of ninety-nine years, and YHWH appeared to Abram, and said to him, “I am God Almighty, habitually walk before Me, and be perfect. 2 And I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.” 3 And Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying, 4 “I—look, My covenant is with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations. 5 And your name will no longer be called Abram, but your name will be called Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you. 6 And I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you. 7 And I have established My covenant between Me and you, and your seed after you, throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant, to become God to you, and to your seed after you. 8 And I have given to you, and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a continuous possession, and I have become their God.” 9 And God said to Abraham, “And you keep My covenant, you and your seed after you, throughout their generations. 10 This is My covenant which you keep between Me and you, and your seed after you: every male of you is to be circumcised. 11 And you have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it has become a sign of a covenant between Me and you. 12 And a son of eight days is circumcised by you. Every male throughout your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of your seed. 13 He is certainly circumcised who is born in your house, or bought with your money. And My covenant has become in your flesh a perpetual covenant. 14 And an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people. Should My covenant he has broken.” 15 And God said to Abraham, “Sarai your wife—you do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name. 16 And I have blessed her, and have also given to you a son from her. And I have blessed her, and she will become mother of nations—kings of peoples will be from her.” 17 And Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Is one born to the son of one hundred years? Or does Sarah—daughter of ninety years—bear?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael may live before You”. 19 And God said, “Your wife Sarah is certainly bearing a son to you, and you have called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a perpetual covenant, to his seed after him. 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Look, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly. Twelve princes does he beget, and I have made him become a great nation. 21 And My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah does bear to you at this appointed time in the next year”. 22 And He finished speaking with him, and God goes up from Abraham. 23 And Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money—every male among the men of Abraham’s house and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin, in this very same day, as God has spoken with him. 24 And Abraham was a son of ninety-nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised. 25 And his son Ishmael was a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised. 26 In this very same day Abraham had been circumcised, and his son Ishmael. 27 And all the men of his house—born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger—had been circumcised with him.
