Chapter 17
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, Jehovah appeared to Abram,
and said unto him, I am ^7 God Almighty; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee
exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As
for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a
multitude of nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called ^8 Abram, but
thy name shall be ^9 Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I
made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations
of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant
between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for
an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy
sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will
be their God.
[Footnote 7: Heb. El Shaddai.]
[Footnote 8: That is, exalted father.]
[Footnote 9: That is, father of a multitude.]
And God said unto Abraham, And as for thee, thou shalt keep my covenant,
thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations. This is my
covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee:
every male among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall be circumcised in the
flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt me and
you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male
throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with
money of any foreigner that is not of toy seed. He that is born in thy house,
and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my
covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the
uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that
soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her
name Sarai, but ^1 Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her, and
moreover I will give thee a son of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall
be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her. Then Abraham fell
upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto
him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old,
bear? And Abraham said unto God, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee! And
God said, Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call
his name ^2 Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an
everlasting covenant for his seed after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard
thee: behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will
multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a
great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall
bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
[Footnote 1: That is, Princess.]
[Footnote 2: From the Heb. word meaning to laugh.]
And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. And
Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all
that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house,
and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had
said unto him. And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was
circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. And Ishmael his son was thirteen
years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. In the
selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. And all the men of
his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a
foreigner, were circumcised with him.
