When Abram [was] ninety-nine years old Yahweh appeared to Abram. And he said to him, "I [am] El-Shaddai; walk before me and be blameless

And Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you!"

And [as for] Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I will bless him and I will make him fruitful, and I will multiply him {exceedingly}. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this appointed time next year."

When he finished speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.

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

And Abraham took Ishmael his son and all who were born of his house, and all [those] acquired by his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on the same day that God spoke with him.

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

And all the men of his house, {those born in the house, and those acquired by money from a foreigner}, were circumcised with him.

Abraham and his son Ishmael [were] circumcised on the same day.

And I will establish my covenant between me and you, and between your offspring after you, throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant to be as God for you and to your offspring after you.

Your name shall no longer be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.

And God said, "No, but Sarah your wife shall bear a son for you, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant to his offspring after him.

And God said to Abraham, "[as for] Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [shall be] her name.

And Abraham fell upon his face and laughed. And he said in his heart, "{Can a child be born to a man a hundred years old}, or {can Sarah bear a child at ninety}?"

And I will give to you and to your offspring after you {the land in which you are living as an alien}, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting property. And I will be to them as God."

"[As for] me, behold, my covenant [shall be] with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.

And {at eight days of age} you shall yourselves circumcise every male [belonging] to your generations [and] {the servant born in your house and the one bought from any foreigner} who is not from your offspring.

Then Abram fell upon his face and God spoke with him, saying,

This [is] my covenant which you shall keep, between me and you, and [also] with your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

And [as for any] uncircumcised male who has not circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.

And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

And God said to Abraham, "Now [as for] you, you must keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you, throughout their generations.

so that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you {exceedingly}."

And I will make you {exceedingly} fruitful. I will make you a nation, and kings shall go out from you.

And I will bless her; moreover, I give to you from her a son. And I will bless her, and {she shall give rise to nations}. Kings of peoples shall come from her."

{You must certainly circumcise} {the servant born in your house and the one bought from any foreigner}. And my covenant shall be with your flesh as an everlasting covenant.
