And when Abram was ninety
years
old
and nine
, the LORD
appeared
to Abram
, and said
unto him, I am the Almighty
God
; walk
before me
, and be thou perfect
.
And I will make my covenant
between me and thee, and will multiply
thee exceedingly
.
And Abram fell
on his face
: and God
talked
with him, saying
,
As for me, behold, my covenant
is with thee, and thou shalt be a father
of many
nations
.
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
.
And I will make thee exceeding
fruitful
, and I will make
nations
of thee, and kings
shall come out
of thee.
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 God
unto thee, and to thy seed
after thee
.
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 God
.
And God said
unto Abraham
, Thou shalt keep
my covenant
therefore, thou, and thy seed
after thee
in their generations
.
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
.
And ye shall circumcise the flesh
of your foreskin
; and it shall be a token
of the covenant
betwixt me and you.
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
.
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
.
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
.
And God said
unto Abraham
, As for Sarai
thy wife
, thou shalt not call
her name
Sarai
, but
Sarah
shall her name
be .
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.
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
?
And Abraham said
unto God
, O that
Ishmael
might live
before thee
!
And God 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
.
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
.
But my covenant will I establish
with Isaac
, which Sarah
shall bear
unto thee at this set time
in the next
year
.
And he left off talking
with him, and God
went up
from Abraham
.
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 God
had said
unto him.
And Abraham was ninety
years
old
and nine
, when he was circumcised
in the flesh
of his foreskin
.
And Ishmael his son
was thirteen
years
old
, when he was circumcised
in the flesh
of his foreskin
.
In the selfsame day
was Abraham
circumcised
, and Ishmael
his son
.
And all the men of his house
, born
in the house
, and bought
with money
of the stranger
, were circumcised
with him.
