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.
02 And I will make my covenant between me
and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
03 And Abram fell on his face: and God
talked with him, saying,
04 As for me, behold, my covenant is with
thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
05 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.
06 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful,
and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall
come out of thee.
07 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.
08 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.
09 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 ye shall
keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee;
Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of
your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the
covenant betwixt me and you.
12 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 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 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 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai
thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but
Sarah shall her name be.
16 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 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 unto God, O that
Ishmael might live before thee!
19 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 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 my covenant will I establish with
Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this
set time in the next year.
22 And he left off talking with him, and
God went up from Abraham.
23 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 And Abraham was ninety years old and
nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his
foreskin.
25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years
old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his
foreskin.
26 In the selfsame day was Abraham
circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
27 And all the men of his house, born in
the house, and bought with money of the stranger,
were circumcised with him.
