And Abram was the son of ninety and nine years, and the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am El Shadai; serve before Me and be perfect (shelim) in thy flesh.

And I will set My covenant between My Word and thee, and will multiply thee very greatly.

And because Abram was not circumcised, he was not able to stand, but he bowed himself upon his face; and the Lord spake with him, saying,

Behold, I have confirmed (or divided) my covenant with thee; and thou shalt be the father of many peoples.

And thy name shall be no more called Abram, but Abraham shall be thy name, because to be the father of a great multitude of peoples have I appointed thee.

And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and will set thee for congregations; and kings ruling over peoples shall come forth from thee.

And I have established My covenant between My Word and thee, and thy sons after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee and to thy sons after thee.

And I will give to thee and to thy sons after thee the land of thy habitation, all the land of Kenaan, for an everlasting possession: and I will be to them Eloha.

And the Lord said to Abraham, And thou shalt observe my covenant, thou and thy sons after thee in their generations.

This is My covenant, that you shall observe between My Word and you, and your sons after you:--Every male of you being circumcised, though he have not a father to circumcise him.

And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, as a sign of the covenant between My Word and you.

And the son of eight days shall be circumcised among you, every male in your generations; from him who is brought up in your house, or bought with your silver, unto every son of the peoples who is not of you.

He who is circumcised shall circumcise him who is brought up among you, or bought with your silver; and it shall be My covenant in your flesh for a covenant for ever.

And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, unless he have some one to circumcise him, that man shall be cut off from his people; he hath made My covenant to pass away.

And the Lord said to Abraham, The name of Sara thy wife shall be no more called Sara; for Sarah shall be her name.

And I will bless in her body, and will also give from her a son to thee, and I will bless, him, and he shall be for assemblies, and kings ruling over nations shall be from her.

And Abraham fell on his face, and wondered, and said in his heart, Shall the son of a hundred years have progeny, and Sarah, the daughter of ninety years, bear a child?

And Abraham said before the Lord, May not Ishmael be established, and serve before Thee?

And the Lord said, In truth Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Izhak; and with him I will confirm My covenant for an everlasting covenant to his sons after him.

And concerning Ishmael I have heard thy prayer. Behold, I have blessed him; and I will spread him abroad, and multiply him very greatly. Twelve princes shall he beget, and I will give him to be a great people.

But My covenant will I establish with Izhak, whom Sarah shall bear to thee at this time in the year after.

And He ceased speaking with him; and the Glory of the Lord ascended from Abraham.

And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all brought up in his house, and all bought with money, every male among the household people of Abraham, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day in which the Lord spake with him.

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

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

In the same day, in the fourteenth year, was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

And every man of his house, the house-trained, and the purchased with money of the sons of the people, was circumcised with him.
