The Sign of the Covenant

17When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless.H87H8673H8141H8141H1121H8672H3068H7200H87H559H7706H410H1980H6440H8549 2And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will make you exceedingly numerous."H5414H1285H7235H3966H3966 3Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him,H87H5307H6440H430H1696H559 4"As for me, this is my covenant with you: You shall be the ancestor of a multitude of nations.H589H1285H1H1995H1471 5No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the ancestor of a multitude of nations.H8034H7121H87H8034H85H1H1995H1471H5414 6I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.H6509H3966H3966H6509H5414H1471H4428H3318 7I will establish my covenant between me and you, and your offspring after you throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.H6965H1285H2233H310H1755H5769H1285H430H2233H310 8And I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are now an alien, all the land of Canaan, for a perpetual holding; and I will be their God."H5414H2233H310H776H4033H776H3667H5769H272H430 9God said to Abraham, "As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.H430H559H85H8104H1285H2233H310H1755 10This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.H1285H8104H2233H310H2145H4135 11You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.H5243H1320H6190H226H1285 12Throughout your generations every male among you shall be circumcised when he is eight days old, including the slave born in your house and the one bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring.H8083H3117H1121H4135H2145H1755H3211H1004H4736H3701H1121H5236H2233 13Both the slave born in your house and the one bought with your money must be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.H3211H1004H4736H3701H4135H4135H1285H1320H5769H1285 14Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."H6189H2145H834H1320H6190H4135H5315H3772H5971H6565H1285 15God said to Abraham, "As for Sarah your wife, you shall not call her Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.H430H559H85H8297H802H7121H8034H8297H3588H8283H8034 16I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall give rise to nations; kings of peoples shall come from her."H1288H5414H1121H1288H1471H4428H5971 17Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, "Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?"H85H5307H6440H6711H559H3820H3205H3967H8141H1121H8283H8673H8141H1323H3205 18And Abraham said to God, "O that Ishmael might live in your sight!"H85H559H430H3863H3458H2421H6440 19God said, "No, but your wife Sarah shall bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.H430H559H8283H802H3205H1121H61H7121H8034H3327H6965H1285H5769H1285H2233H310 20As for Ishmael, I have heard you; I will bless him and make him fruitful and exceedingly numerous; he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.H3458H8085H1288H6509H7235H3966H3966H6240H8147H5387H3205H5414H1419H1471 21But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year."H1285H6965H3327H8283H3205H4150H312H8141 22And when he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.H3615H1696H430H5927H85 23Then Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the slaves born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.H85H3947H3458H1121H3211H1004H4736H3701H2145H582H85H1004H4135H1320H6190H6106H3117H430H1696 24Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.H85H8673H8141H1121H8672H4135H1320H6190 25And his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.H3458H1121H6240H7969H8141H1121H4135H1320H6190 26That very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised;H6106H3117H85H4135H3458H1121 27and all the men of his house, slaves born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.H582H1004H3211H1004H4736H3701H1121H5236H4135
