1

Now when Abramh87 was ninety-nineh8673h8672 yearsh8141 oldh1121,  athe LORDh3068 appearedh7200 to Abramh87 and saidh559 to him, "I am  1Godh410  bAlmightyh7706b; Walkh1980 beforeh6440 Me, and be  2 cblamelessh8549.

2

"I will  1establishh5414 My  acovenanth1285 betweenh996 Me and you, And I will  bmultiplyh7235a you exceedinglyh3966."

3

Abramh87  afellh5307 on his faceh6440, and Godh430 talkedh1696 with him, sayingh559,

4

"As for Me, beholdh2009, My covenanth1285 is with you, And you will be the fatherh1 of a  amultitudeh1995 of nationsh1471.

5

"Noh3808 longerh5750 shall your nameh8034 be calledh7121  1Abramh87, But  ayour nameh8034 shall be  2Abrahamh85; For  bI have madeh5414 you the fatherh1 of a multitudeh1995 of nationsh1471.

6

"I will makeh6509 you exceedinglyh3966 fruitfulh6509, and I will makeh5414 nationsh1471 of you, and  akingsh4428 will comeh3318 forthh3318 from you.

7

"I will establishh6965 My covenanth1285 betweenh996 Me and you and your  1descendantsh2233 afterh310 you throughout their generationsh1755 for an  aeverlastingh5769 covenanth1285,  bto be Godh430 to you and  cto your  1descendantsh2233 afterh310 you.

8

aI will giveh5414 to you and to your  1descendantsh2233 afterh310 you, the landh776 of your sojourningsh4033, allh3605 the landh776 of Canaanh3667a, for an everlastingh5769 possessionh272; and  bI will be their Godh430."

9

Godh430 saidh559 further to Abrahamh85, "Now as for you,  ayou shall keeph8104 My covenanth1285, you and your  1descendantsh2233 afterh310 you throughout their generationsh1755.

10

aThish2088 is My covenanth1285, whichh834 you shall keeph8104, betweenh996 Me and you and your  1descendantsh2233 afterh310 you: everyh3605 maleh2145 among you shall be circumcisedh4135.

11

"And  ayou shall be circumcisedh4135 in the fleshh1320 of your foreskinh6190, and it shall be the signh226 of the covenanth1285 betweenh996 Me and you.

12

"And everyh3605 maleh2145 among you who is  aeighth8083 daysh3117 oldh1121 shall be circumcisedh4135 throughout your generationsh1755, a servant whoh3211 is bornh3211 in the househ1004 or whoh4736 is boughth4736 with moneyh3701 from anyh3605 foreignerh1121h5236, whoh834 is not of your  1descendantsh2233.

13

"A servant whoh3211 is bornh3211 in your househ1004 or  awhoh4736 is boughth4736 with your moneyh3701 shall surelyh4135 be circumcisedh4135; thus shall My covenanth1285 be in your fleshh1320 for an everlastingh5769 covenanth1285.

14

"But an uncircumcisedh6189 maleh2145 whoh834 is not circumcisedh4135 in the fleshh1320 of his foreskinh6190, that personh5315 shall be  acuth3772 offh3772 from his peopleh5971b; he has brokenh6565a My covenanth1285."

15

Then Godh430 saidh559 to Abrahamh85, "As for Saraih8297 your wifeh802, you shall not callh7121 her nameh8034 Saraih8297, but  1Sarahh8283 shall be her nameh8034.

16

"I will blessh1288 her, and indeedh1571 I will giveh5414 you  aa sonh1121 by her. Then I will blessh1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsh1471;  bkingsh4428 of peoplesh5971a will  1comeh1961 from her."

17

Then Abrahamh85  afellh5307 on his faceh6440 and laughedh6711, and saidh559 in his hearth3820, "Will a child be bornh3205 to a manh1121 one hundredh3967 yearsh8141 oldh1121? And  bwill Sarahh8283, who is ninetyh8673 yearsh8141 oldh1323, bearh3205 a child?"

18

And Abrahamh85 saidh559 to Godh430, "Ohh3863 that Ishmaelh3458 might liveh2421a beforeh6440 You!"

19

But Godh430 saidh559, "Noh61, but Sarahh8283 your wifeh802 will bearh3205 you  aa sonh1121, and you shall callh7121 his nameh8034  1Isaach3327; and  bI will establishh6965 My covenanth1285 with him for an everlastingh5769 covenanth1285 for his  2descendantsh2233 afterh310 him.

20

"As for Ishmaelh3458, I have heardh8085 you; beholdh2009, I will blessh1288 him, and  awill makeh6509 him fruitfulh6509 and will multiplyh7235a him exceedinglyh3966.  bHe shall  1becomeh3205 the fatherh3205 of twelveh8147h6240 princesh5387a, and I will makeh5414 him a  cgreath1419 nationh1471.

21

"But My covenanth1285 I will establishh6965 with  aIsaach3327, whomh834  bSarahh8283 will bearh3205 to you at thish2088 seasonh4150 nexth312 yearh8141."

22

When He finishedh3615 talkingh1696 with him,  aGodh430 wenth5927 up from Abrahamh85.

23

Then Abrahamh85 tookh3947 Ishmaelh3458 his sonh1121, and allh3605 the servants whoh3211 were  abornh3211 in his househ1004 and allh3605 whoh4736 were boughth4736 with his moneyh3701, everyh3605 maleh2145 among the menh376 of Abraham'sh85 householdh1004, and circumcisedh4135 the fleshh1320 of their foreskinh6190 in the veryh6106 sameh6106 dayh3117,  bas Godh430 had saidh1696 to him.

24

Now Abrahamh85 was ninety-nineh8673h8672 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when  ahe was circumcisedh4135 in the fleshh1320 of his foreskinh6190.

25

And  aIshmaelh3458 his sonh1121 was thirteenh7969h6240 yearsh8141 oldh1121 when he was circumcisedh4135 in the fleshh1320 of his foreskinh6190.

26

In the veryh6106 sameh6106 dayh3117 Abrahamh85 was circumcisedh4135, and Ishmaelh3458 his sonh1121.

27

Allh3605 the menh376 of his householdh1004, whoh3211 were  abornh3211 in the househ1004 or boughth4736 with moneyh3701 from a foreignerh1121h5236, were circumcisedh4135 with him.
