1 And Abram was a son of ninety years and nine years, and YHWH appeared to Abram and said to him, “I [am] El-Shaddai; walk before My face and be blameless. VP
2 And I will make My covenant between Me and between you, and I will multiply you greatly, greatly.” VP
3 And Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying, VP
4 “I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you shall be for a father of a multitude nations. VP
5 And your name shall not be called Abram anymore, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of a multitude nations. VP
6 I will make you fruitful—greatly, greatly—and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come out from you. VP
7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and between you and between your seed after you, throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you, and to your seed after you. VP
8 And I will give to you and to your seed after you the land of your sojourning—all the land of Canaan—for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” VP
9 And God said to Abraham, “And you, you shall keep My covenant—you and your seed after you, throughout their generations. VP
10 This [is] My covenant, which you⁺ shall keep between Me, and between you⁺, and between your seed after you: Every male among you⁺ shall be circumcised. VP
11 And you⁺ shall be circumcised in the flesh of your⁺ foreskins, and it shall be for a sign of the covenant between Me and between you⁺. VP
12 And a son of eight days among you⁺ shall be circumcised—every male throughout your⁺ generations one born of the house and one bought of silver from every son of a foreigner who is not from your seed. VP
13 And he must surely be circumcised—one born of your house, and one bought of your silver; and My covenant shall be in your⁺ flesh for an everlasting covenant. VP
14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, the soul [of] that one shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.” VP
15 And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife—you shall not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name. VP
16 And I will bless her, and also I have given to you a son from her; and I will bless her, and she shall be for nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.” VP
17 And Abraham fell on his face, and he laughed, and he said in his heart, “To a son of a hundred years shall [a child] be born? Or [shall] Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, bear [a child]?” VP
18 And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live before Your face!” VP
19 And God said, “Truly, Sarah your wife will bear to you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, for his seed after him. VP
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him and I will make him fruitful and will multiply him greatly, greatly. Two [and] ten princes he shall beget, and I will make him into a great nation. VP
21 But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this appointed time in the next year.” VP
22 And He finished speaking with him, and God went up from Abraham. VP
23 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the ones born of his house, and all the ones bought of his silver—every male among the men of the house of Abraham—and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins on that very day, as God had spoken with him. VP
24 And Abraham [was] a son of ninety and nine years when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. VP
25 And Ishmael his son [was] a son of three [and] ten years when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. VP
26 And on that very day Abraham was circumcised, and Ishmael his son, VP
27 and all the men of his house—one born of the house and one bought of silver from a son of a foreigner—were circumcised with him. VP
