1 - And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, `I <FI>am<Fi> God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;
2 - and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'
3 - And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,
4 - `I--lo, My covenant <FI>is<Fi> with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;
5 - and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;
6 - and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.
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;
8 - and 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.'
9 - And God saith unto Abraham, `And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;
10 - this <FI>is<Fi> My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you <FI>is<Fi> to be circumcised;
11 - and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
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;
13 - he is certainly circumcised who <FI>is<Fi> born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;
14 - and 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.'
15 - And God saith unto Abraham, `Sarai thy wife--thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah <FI>is<Fi> her name;
16 - and 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.'
17 - And 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?'
18 - And Abraham saith unto God, `O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'
19 - and 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.
20 - As 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;
21 - and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'
22 - and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.
23 - And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money--every male among the men of Abraham's house--and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.
24 - And Abraham <FI>is<Fi> a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
25 - and Ishmael his son <FI>is<Fi> a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
26 - in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
27 - and all the men of his house--born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger--have been circumcised with him.
