1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; walk before Me faithfully and be blameless."

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 thou perfect.

2 I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will greatly multiply you.

And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 Abram fell facedown, and God spoke with him, saying,

And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

4 "As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

5 No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you the father of many nations.

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

6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.

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

7 I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

8 And I will give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are now living as a foreigner—all the land of Canaan—as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

9 Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.

And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

10 This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

11 You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it will be the sign of the covenant between Me and you.

And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

12 Every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, both those born in your household and those bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant.

And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

13 Every male born in your household or bought with your money must be circumcised. Thus, My covenant will be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant.

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.

14 But any uncircumcised male who has not been circumcised in the flesh will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.

And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

15 Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.

And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

16 I will bless her and surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her.

And I will bless her, and give thee 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 Abraham fell facedown and laughed, saying to himself, "Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?"

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?

18 And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under Your blessing!"

And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!

19 Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

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.

20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will bless him; I will make him fruitful and greatly multiply his descendants. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.

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.

21 But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.

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

22 When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God ascended from him.

And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

23 On that very day, Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and circumcised them, as God had told him.

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.

24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

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

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

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

26 On that very day, Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.

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

27 And all the men of his household, whether born in his house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
