And Abraham saith unto God, 'O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'

and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.

And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money -- every male among the men of Abraham's house -- and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.

And Abraham is a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;

in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;

and Abraham and Sarah are aged, entering into days -- the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah;

And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, 'Why is this? Sarah hath laughed, saying, Is it true really -- I bear -- and I am aged? Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a son.'

and Jehovah said, 'Am I concealing from Abraham that which I am doing,

and Abraham certainly becometh a nation great and mighty, and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth?

for I have known him, that he commandeth his children, and his house after him (and they have kept the way of Jehovah), to do righteousness and judgment, that Jehovah may bring on Abraham that which He hath spoken concerning him.'

and the men turn from thence, and go towards Sodom; and Abraham is yet standing before Jehovah.

and Abraham saith concerning Sarah his wife, 'She is my sister;' and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth and taketh Sarah.

and Abimelech calleth for Abraham, and saith to him, 'What hast thou done to us? and what have I sinned against thee, that thou hast brought upon me, and upon my kingdom, a great sin? works which are not done thou hast done with me.'

And Abraham is a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,

and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,

and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son -- with Isaac.'

And Isaac speaketh unto Abraham his father, and saith, 'My father,' and he saith, 'Here am I, my son.' And he saith, 'Lo, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb for a burnt-offering?'

and Abraham saith, 'God doth provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt-offering, my son;' and they go on both of them together.
