17:001

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, HaShem appeared to Abram, and said unto him: 'I am G-d Almighty; walk before Me, and be thou wholehearted

17:002

And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

17:003

And Abram fell on his face; and G-d talked with him, saying

17:004

'As for Me, behold, My covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be the father of a multitude of nations

17:005

Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee

17:006

And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee

17:007

And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a G-d unto thee and to thy seed after thee

17:008

And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their G-d.

17:009

And G-d said unto Abraham: 'And as for thee, thou shalt keep My covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations

17:010

This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised

17:011

And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt Me and you

17:012

And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed

17:013

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

17:014

And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant.

17:015

And G-d said unto Abraham: 'As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be

17:016

And I will bless her, and moreover I will give thee a son of her; yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be of her.

17:017

Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart: 'Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

17:018

And Abraham said unto G-d: 'Oh that Ishmael might live before Thee!

17:019

And G-d said: ''Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him

17:020

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

17:021

But My covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

17:022

And He left off talking with him, and G-d went up from Abraham

17:023

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 G-d had said unto him

17:024

And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin

17:025

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin

17:026

In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son

17:027

And all the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him
