17When Abram was ninety-nine years old, GOD showed up and said to him, "I am The Strong God, live entirely before me, live to the hilt!H87H8673H8141H8141H1121H8672H3068H7200H87H559H7706H410H1980H6440H8549 2I'll make a covenant between us and I'll give you a huge family."H5414H1285H7235H3966H3966 3Overwhelmed, Abram fell flat on his face. Then God said to him,H87H5307H6440H430H1696H559 4"This is my covenant with you: You'll be the father of many nations.H589H1285H1H1995H1471 5Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, meaning that 'I'm making you the father of many nations.'H8034H7121H87H8034H85H1H1995H1471H5414 6I'll make you a father of fathers—I'll make nations from you, kings will issue from you.H6509H3966H3966H6509H5414H1471H4428H3318 7I'm establishing my covenant between me and you, a covenant that includes your descendants, a covenant that goes on and on and on, a covenant that commits me to be your God and the God of your descendants.H6965H1285H2233H310H1755H5769H1285H430H2233H310 8And I'm giving you and your descendants this land where you're now just camping, this whole country of Canaan, to own forever. And I'll be their God."H5414H2233H310H776H4033H776H3667H5769H272H430 9God continued to Abraham, "And you: You will honor my covenant, you and your descendants, generation after generation.H430H559H85H8104H1285H2233H310H1755 10This is the covenant that you are to honor, the covenant that pulls in all your descendants: Circumcise every male.H1285H8104H2233H310H2145H4135 11Circumcise by cutting off the foreskin of the penis; it will be the sign of the covenant between us.H5243H1320H6190H226H1285 12Every male baby will be circumcised when he is eight days old, generation after generation—this includes house-born slaves and slaves bought from outsiders who are not blood kin.H8083H3117H1121H4135H2145H1755H3211H1004H4736H3701H1121H5236H2233 13Make sure you circumcise both your own children and anyone brought in from the outside. That way my covenant will be cut into your body, a permanent mark of my permanent covenant.H3211H1004H4736H3701H4135H4135H1285H1320H5769H1285 14An uncircumcised male, one who has not had the foreskin of his penis cut off, will be cut off from his people—he has broken my covenant."H6189H2145H834H1320H6190H4135H5315H3772H5971H6565H1285 15God continued speaking to Abraham, "And Sarai your wife: Don't call her Sarai any longer; call her Sarah.H430H559H85H8297H802H7121H8034H8297H3588H8283H8034 16I'll bless her—yes! I'll give you a son by her! Oh, how I'll bless her! Nations will come from her; kings of nations will come from her."H1288H5414H1121H1288H1471H4428H5971 17Abraham fell flat on his face. And then he laughed, thinking, "Can a hundred-year-old man father a son? And can Sarah, at ninety years, have a baby?"H85H5307H6440H6711H559H3820H3205H3967H8141H1121H8283H8673H8141H1323H3205 18Recovering, Abraham said to God, "Oh, keep Ishmael alive and well before you!"H85H559H430H3863H3458H2421H6440 19But God said, "That's not what I mean. Your wife, Sarah, will have a baby, a son. Name him Isaac (Laughter). I'll establish my covenant with him and his descendants, a covenant that lasts forever.H430H559H8283H802H3205H1121H61H7121H8034H3327H6965H1285H5769H1285H2233H310 20"And Ishmael? Yes, I heard your prayer for him. I'll also bless him; I'll make sure he has plenty of children—a huge family. He'll father twelve princes; I'll make him a great nation.H3458H8085H1288H6509H7235H3966H3966H6240H8147H5387H3205H5414H1419H1471 21But I'll establish my covenant with Isaac whom Sarah will give you about this time next year."H1285H6965H3327H8283H3205H4150H312H8141 22God finished speaking with Abraham and left.H3615H1696H430H5927H85 23Then Abraham took his son Ishmael and all his servants, whether houseborn or purchased—every male in his household—and circumcised them, cutting off their foreskins that very day, just as God had told him.H85H3947H3458H1121H3211H1004H4736H3701H2145H582H85H1004H4135H1320H6190H6106H3117H430H1696 24Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised.H85H8673H8141H1121H8672H4135H1320H6190 25His son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised.H3458H1121H6240H7969H8141H1121H4135H1320H6190 26Abraham and Ishmael were circumcised the same dayH6106H3117H85H4135H3458H1121 27together with all the servants of his household, those born there and those purchased from outsiders—all were circumcised with him.H582H1004H3211H1004H4736H3701H1121H5236H4135
