GENESIS · Chapter 17
17:1 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 you perfect.
17:2 And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply
you exceedingly.
17:3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a
father of many nations.
17:5 Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name
shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made you.
17:6 And I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations
of you, and kings shall come out of you.
17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed
after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God
unto you, and to your seed after you.
17:8 And I will give unto you, and to your seed after you, the land
wherein you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting
possession; and I will be their God.
17:9 And God said unto Abraham, You shall keep my covenant therefore,
you, and your seed after you in their generations.
17:10 This is my covenant, which all of you shall keep, between me
and you and your seed after you; Every male child among you shall be circumcised.
17:11 And all of you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and
it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you.
17:12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you,
every male child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or
bought with money of any stranger, which is not of your seed.
17:13 He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your
money, must essentially be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your
flesh for an everlasting covenant.
17:14 And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin
is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has
broken my covenant.
17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall
not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
17:16 And I will bless her, and give you 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.
17:17 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?
17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before you!
17:19 And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed; and
you shall call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him
for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
17:20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: Behold, I have blessed
him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve
princes shall he brought forth, and I will make him a great nation.
17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall
bear unto you at this set time in the next year.
17:22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
17:23 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
very same day, as God had said unto him.
17:24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised
in the flesh of his foreskin.
17:25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised
in the flesh of his foreskin.
17:26 In the very same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his
son.
17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with
money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
