17:1 And when Avram was ninety-nine years old, YHWH (יהוה) Ra ah el Avram, and said unto him, ANI SHADAI EL; halak (walk) before ME, and be thou tamiym
17:2 And I will make My Covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
17:3 And Avram fell on his face: and Elohim (אלהים) talked with him, saying,
17:4 As for me, hinnei, My Covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
17:5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Avram (exalted father), but thy name shall be Avraham (אברהם); for a father of many nations have I made thee.
17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
And I will establish My Covenant between Me and thee and thy zera (descendants) after thee in their generations for an everlasting Covenant, to be a Elohim (אלהים) unto thee, and to thy zera (descendants) after thee.
17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy zera (descendants) after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the eretz Kenaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their Elohim (אלהים).
17:9 And Elohim (אלהים) said unto Avraham (אברהם), Thou shalt keep My Covenant therefore, thou, and thy zera (descendants) after thee in their generations.
17:10
[P215]
This [is] My Covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy zera (descendants) after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
17:11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the Covenant betwixt Me and you.
17:12 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 zera (descendants).
17:13 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.
17:14 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.
17:15 And Elohim (אלהים) said unto Avraham (אברהם), As for Sarai (mockery) thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah (princess) [shall] her name [be].
17:16 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.
17:17 Then Avraham (אברהם) 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 (שׂרה), that is ninety years old, bear?
17:18 And Avraham (אברהם) said unto Elohim (אלהים), O that YishmaEL (ישׁמעא) might live before thee!
17:19 And Elohim (אלהים) said, Sarah (שׂרה) thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Yitzchak (יצחק): and I will establish My Covenant with him for an everlasting Covenant, [and] with his seed after him.
17:20 And as for Yishma'el (ישׁמעא), I have heard(shama) thee: hinnei, I have baruch him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
17:21 But My Covenant will I establish with Yitzchak (יצחק), which Sarah (שׂרה) shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
17:22 And he left off talking with him, and Elohim (אלהים) went up from Avraham (אברהם).
17:23 And Avraham (אברהם) took Yishma'el (ישׁמעא) his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Avraham (אברהם)'s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as Elohim (אלהים) had said unto him.
And Avraham (אברהם) [was] ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised(mul) in the flesh of his foreskin (orlah).
17:25 And Yishma'el (ישׁמעא) his son [was] thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
17:26 In the selfsame day was Avraham (אברהם) circumcised, and Yishma'el (ישׁמעא) his son.
17:27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
