Genesis 17

1And 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;

1And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I [am] the AlmightyGod: walk before my face, and be perfect.

2and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'

2And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.

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

3And Abram fell on his face; andGod talked with him, saying,

4`I--lo, My covenant <FI>is<Fi> with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

4It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.

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;

5And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

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

6And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of 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;

7And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be aGod to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

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.'

8And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be aGod to them.

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

9AndGod said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.

10this <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;

10This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee — that every male among you be circumcised.

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

11And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the 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;

12And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you — he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.

13he 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;

13He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

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.'

14And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.

15And God saith unto Abraham, `Sarai thy wife--thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah <FI>is<Fi> her name;

15AndGod said to Abraham, [As to] Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

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.'

16And I will bless her, and I will give thee a son also of her; and I will bless her, and she shall become nations: kings of peoples shall be of her.

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?'

17And Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall [a child] be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

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

18And Abraham said toGod, Oh that Ishmael might live before thee!

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.

19AndGod said, Sarah thy wife shall indeed bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

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;

20And for Ishmael I have heard thee: behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful, and will very greatly multiply him; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

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

21But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year.

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

22And he left off talking with him; andGod went up from Abraham.

23And 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.

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, asGod had said to him.

24And Abraham <FI>is<Fi> a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

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

25and Ishmael his son <FI>is<Fi> a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

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

26in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

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

27and 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.

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