When Avram was ninety-nine years old, Adonoy appeared [became revealed] to Avram and said to him: I am Almighty Shaddai, walk [worship] before Me and be perfect.

I will give My covenant between Me [My Word] and you, and I will multiply you[r descendants] exceedingly.

Avram fell on his face. Elohim spoke with him, saying:

As for Me, here is My covenant with you; you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.

No longer shall your name be called Avram, but your name shall be Avraham, for the father of a multitude of nations I have appointed you.

I will make you exceedingly fruitful and I will make you into nations [assemblies]; and kings [who rule over nations] will descend from you.

I will sustain My covenant between Me [My Word] and you, and between your descendants after you throughout their generations as an eternal covenant, to be a God to you, and to your descendants after you.

I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your temporary residence, all the land of Canaan as an eternal possession, and I will be a God to them.

Elohim said to Avraham: And as for you, you must preserve My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

This is My covenant which you must preserve between Me [My Word] and you, and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised.

You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. This shall be the sign of the covenant between Me [My Word] and you.

At the age of eight days every male among you must be circumcised, throughout your generations; he that is a house-born [slave] or one that was bought with money from any stranger who is not your descendant.

Your house-born slaves must be circumcised, and also those bought with your money. This shall be My covenant in your flesh as an eternal covenant.

An uncircumcised male, who will not circumcise his foreskin, that soul [man] shall be cut off from its people; he has broken [changed] My covenant.

And Elohim said to Avraham [As for] Sarai your wife, do not call her by the name Sarai, for Sarah is her name.

I will bless her, and I will also give you a son through her. I will bless her, and she will be [a mother] of nations [assemblies], kings of peoples [who rule over nations] will descend from her.

Avraham fell on his face and laughed [rejoiced]. He said in his heart: Can a hundred year old man have children? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old give birth?

And Avraham said to [before] Elohim: May it be granted that Yishmael live before You.

Elohim said: Indeed, your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will name him Yitzchok. I will establish My covenant with him as an eternal covenant to his descendants after him.

And as for Yishmael, I have heard you [I have accepted your prayer]. I have blessed him, and I will make him fruitful, and will increase him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.

But I will establish My covenant with Yitzchok, who Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.

And when He finished speaking with him, [the Glory of] Elohim ascended from Avraham.

Avraham took his son, Yishmael, and all those that were born in his household, and all that he had bought with his money, every male member of Avraham’s household, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day as Elohim had said to him.

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

And his son Yishmael was thirteen years old when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.

On that very day Avraham and his son Yishmael were circumcised.

All the men of his household, those born in his household, and bought with money from a stranger, were circumcised with him.
