17:1 And Abram was ninety-nine years old,
and Yehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am thy Elohim, be
well-pleasing before me, and be blameless.
17:2 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and I will
multiply thee exceedingly.
17:3 And Abram fell upon his face, and Elohim spoke to him, saying,
17:4 And I, behold! my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father
of a multitude of nations.
17:5 And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be
Abraam, for I have made thee a father of many nations.
17:6 And I will increase thee very exceedingly, and I will make nations of
thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
17:7 And I will establish my covenant between thee and thy seed after thee,
to their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be thy Elohim, and [the
Elohim] of thy seed after thee.
17:8 And I will give to thee and to thy seed after thee the land wherein
thou sojournest, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting possession,
and I will be to them a Elohim.
17:9 And Elohim said to Abraam, Thou also shalt fully keep my covenant, thou
and thy seed after thee for their generations.
17:10 And this [is] the covenant which thou shalt fully keep between me and
you, and between thy seed after thee for their generations; every male of
you shall be circumcised.
17:11 And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it
shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.
17:12 And the child of eight days [old] shall be circumcised by you, every
male throughout your generations, and [the servant] born in the house and he
that is bought with money, of every son of a stranger, who is not of thy
seed.
17:13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with money shall
be surely circumcised, and my covenant shall be on your flesh for an
everlasting covenant.
17:14 And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh
of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from
its family, for he has broken my covenant.
17:15 And Elohim said to Abraam, Sara thy wife-- her name shall not be called
Sara, Sarrha shall be her name.
17:16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son of her, and I will bless
him, and he shall become nations, and kings of nations shall be of him.
17:17 And Abraam fell upon his face, and laughed; and spoke in his heart,
saying, Shall there be a child to one who is a hundred years old, and shall
Sarrha who is ninety years old, bear?
17:18 And Abraam said to Elohim, Let this Ismael live before thee.
17:19 And Elohim said to Abraam, Yea, behold, Sarrha thy wife shall bear thee a
son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant
with him, for an everlasting covenant, to be a Elohim to him and to his seed
after him.
17:20 And concerning Ismael, behold, I have heard thee, and, behold, I have
blessed him, and will increase him and multiply him exceedingly; twelve
nations shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
17:21 But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarrha shall bear to
thee at this time, in the next year.
17:22 And he left off speaking with him, and Elohim went up from Abraam.
17:23 And Abraam took Ismael his son, and all his home-born [servants], and
all those bought with money, and every male of the men in the house of
Abraam, and he circumcised their foreskins in the time of that day,
according as Elohim spoke to him.
17:24 And Abraam was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the
flesh of his foreskin.
17:25 And Ismael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in
the flesh of his foreskin.
17:26 And at the period of that day, Abraam was circumcised, and Ismael his
son,
17:27 and all the men of his house, both those born in the house, and those
bought with money of foreign nations. |
17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and
nine, Yehovah appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty Elohim;
walk before me, and be thou perfect.
17:2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee
exceedingly.
17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and Elohim talked with him, saying,
17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father
of many nations.
17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be
Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of
thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after
thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a Elohim unto
thee, and to thy seed after thee.
17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein
thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession;
and I will be their Elohim.
17:9 And Elohim said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou,
and thy seed after thee in their generations.
17:10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy
seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a
token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every
man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with
money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
17:13 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.
17:14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not
circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my
covenant.
17:15 And Elohim said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call
her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
17:16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will
bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of
her.
17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart,
Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall
Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
17:18 And Abraham said unto Elohim, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
17:19 And Elohim said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou
shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an
everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
17:20 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.
17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear
unto thee at this set time in the next year.
17:22 And he left off talking with him, and Elohim went up from Abraham.
17:23 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 Elohim had said unto him.
17:24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in
the flesh of his foreskin.
17:25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in
the flesh of his foreskin.
17:26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money
of the stranger, were circumcised with him. |
