创17:23And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money -- every male among the people of Abraham's house -- and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that same day, as God had said to him.

创17:24And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

创17:25And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

创17:26In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

创17:27and all the men of his house, born in his house, or bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

创18:1And Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day.

创18:2And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him. And when he saw [them], he ran to meet them from the tent-door, and bowed himself to the earth,

创18:3and said, Lord, if now I have found favour in thine eyes, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant.

创18:4Let now a little water be fetched, that ye may wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

创18:5And I will fetch a morsel of bread; and refresh yourselves; after that ye shall pass on; for therefore have ye passed on towards your servant. And they said, So do as thou hast said.

创18:6And Abraham hastened into the tent to Sarah, and said, Knead quickly three seahs of wheaten flour, and make cakes.

创18:7And Abraham ran to the herd, and took a calf tender and good, and gave [it] to the attendant; and he hasted to dress it.

创18:8And he took thick and sweet milk, and the calf that he had dressed, and set [it] before them; and he stood before them under the tree, and they ate.

创18:9And they said to him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

创18:10And he said, I will certainly return to thee at [this] time of the year, and behold, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent-door, which was behind him.

创18:11Now Abraham and Sarah were old [and] advanced in age: it had ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

创18:12And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am become old, shall I have pleasure, and my lord old?

创18:13And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why is this, that Sarah laughs, saying, Shall I indeed bear, when I am become old?

创18:14Is [any] matter too wonderful for Jehovah? At the time appointed I will return to thee, at [this] time of the year, and Sarah shall have a son.

创18:15And Sarah denied, saying, I did not laugh; for she was afraid. And he said, No; but thou didst laugh.
