创17:3And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,

创17:4'I -- lo, My covenant is with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

创17:5and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

创17:6and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.

创17:7'And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

创17:8and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'

创17:9And God saith unto Abraham, 'And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;

创17:10this is My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you is to be circumcised;

创17:11and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.

创17:12'And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed;

创17:13he is certainly circumcised who is born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;

创17:14and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.'

创17:15And God saith unto Abraham, 'Sarai thy wife -- thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name;

创17:16and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations -- kings of peoples are from her.'

创17:17And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, 'To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah -- daughter of ninety years -- bear?'

创17:18And Abraham saith unto God, 'O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'

创17:19and God saith, 'Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.

创17:20As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

创17:21and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'

创17:22and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.
