01:017:017 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?
01:017:018 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before
thee!
01:017:019 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.
01:017:020 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.
01:017:021 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall
bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
01:017:022 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from
Abraham.
01:017:023 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.
01:017:024 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was
circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
01:017:025 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was
circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
01:017:026 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his
son.
01:017:027 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought
with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
01:018:001 And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he
sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
01:018:002 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood
by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the
tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
01:018:003 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight,
pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
01:018:004 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your
feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
01:018:005 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your
hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come
to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
01:018:006 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make
ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make
cakes upon the hearth.
01:018:007 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and
good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
