17:6. And I will make thee increase exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 17:7. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee. 17:8. And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan, for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God. 17:9. Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 17:10. This is my covenant which you shall observe between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male-kind of you shall be circumcised. 17:11. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you. 17:12. An infant of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every manchild in your generations: he that is born in the house, as well as the bought servant, shall be circumcised, and whosoever is not of your stock: 17:13. And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant. 17:14. The male whose flesh of his foreskin shall not be circumcised, that soul shall be destroyed out of his people: because he hath broken my covenant. 17:15. God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara. 17:16. And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shall become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him. 17:17. Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth? 17:18. And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee. 17:19. And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him. 17:20. And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation. 17:21. But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year. 17:22. And when he had left off speaking with him, God went up from Abraham. 17:23. And Abraham took Ismael his son, and all that were born in his house: and all whom he had bought, every male among the men of his house: and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin forthwith the very same day, as God had commanded him. 17:24. Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin. 17:25. And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision. 17:26. The self-same day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his son.
