17WHEN ABRAM was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, I am the Almighty God; walk {and} live habitually before Me and be perfect (blameless, wholehearted, complete).H87H8673H8141H8141H1121H8672H3068H7200H87H559H7706H410H1980H6440H8549 2And I will make My covenant (solemn pledge) between Me and you and will multiply you exceedingly.H5414H1285H7235H3966H3966 3Then Abram fell on his face, and God said to him,H87H5307H6440H430H1696H559 4As for Me, behold, My covenant (solemn pledge) is with you, and you shall be the father of many nations.H589H1285H1H1995H1471 5Nor shall your name any longer be Abram [high, exalted father]; but your name shall be Abraham [father of a multitude], for I have made you the father of many nations.H8034H7121H87H8034H85H1H1995H1471H5414 6And I will make you exceedingly fruitful and I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.H6509H3966H3966H6509H5414H1471H4428H3318 7And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting, solemn pledge, to be a God to you and to your posterity after you.H6965H1285H2233H310H1755H5769H1285H430H2233H310 8And I will give to you and to your posterity after you the land in which you are a stranger [going from place to place], all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.H5414H2233H310H776H4033H776H3667H5769H272H430 9And God said to Abraham, As for you, you shall therefore keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.H430H559H85H8104H1285H2233H310H1755 10This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your posterity after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.H1285H8104H2233H310H2145H4135 11And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a token {or} sign of the covenant (the promise or pledge) between Me and you.H5243H1320H6190H226H1285 12He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male throughout your generations, whether born in [your] house or bought with [your] money from any foreigner not of your offspring.H8083H3117H1121H4135H2145H1755H3211H1004H4736H3701H1121H5236H2233 13He that is born in your house and he that is bought with your money must be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.H3211H1004H4736H3701H4135H4135H1285H1320H5769H1285 14And the male who is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.H6189H2145H834H1320H6190H4135H5315H3772H5971H6565H1285 15And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai; but Sarah [Princess] her name shall be.H430H559H85H8297H802H7121H8034H8297H3588H8283H8034 16And I will bless her and give you a son also by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.H1288H5414H1121H1288H1471H4428H5971 17Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a son?H85H5307H6440H6711H559H3820H3205H3967H8141H1121H8283H8673H8141H1323H3205 18And [he] said to God, Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!H85H559H430H3863H3458H2421H6440 19But God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed, and you shall call his name Isaac [laughter]; and I will establish My covenant {or} solemn pledge with him for an everlasting covenant and with his posterity after him.H430H559H8283H802H3205H1121H61H7121H8034H3327H6965H1285H5769H1285H2233H310 20And as for Ishmael, I have heard {and} heeded you: behold, I will bless him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly; He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. [Fulfilled in Gen. 25:12-18.]H3458H8085H1288H6509H7235H3966H3966H6240H8147H5387H3205H5414H1419H1471 21But My covenant, My promise and pledge, I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this season next year.H1285H6965H3327H8283H3205H4150H312H8141 22And God stopped talking with him and went up from Abraham.H3615H1696H430H5927H85 23And Abraham took Ishmael his son and all who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among [those] of Abraham's house, and circumcised [them] the very same day, as God had said to him.H85H3947H3458H1121H3211H1004H4736H3701H2145H582H85H1004H4135H1320H6190H6106H3117H430H1696 24And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised.H85H8673H8141H1121H8672H4135H1320H6190 25And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised.H3458H1121H6240H7969H8141H1121H4135H1320H6190 26On the very same day Abraham was circumcised, and Ishmael his son as well.H6106H3117H85H4135H3458H1121 27And all the men of his house, both those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised along with him.H582H1004H3211H1004H4736H3701H1121H5236H4135
