1When Exalted Father (Abram) was ninety-nine years old, I AM (the LORD - Yehovah) appeared to Exalted Father (Abram), and said to him, I am the Nuturing God (El Shaddi); walk before me, and be perfect.
5Neither shall your name any more be called Exalted Father (Abram), but your name shall be Father of a Multitude (Abraham); for I am making you a father of many nations.
6I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.
7I will establish my covenant between you and Me and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God (Elohiym) to you, and to your seed after you.
8I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land where you now are a stranger, all the land of the Humbled Ones (Canaan), for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God (Elohiym).
9Then God (Elohiym) said to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), Keep my covenant, you and your descendents.
10This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between you and Me, and your seed after you; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between you and Me.
12He that is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of your seed.
13He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14The uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.
15And God (Elohiym) said to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), As for Princess (Sarai) your wife, you shall not call her name Princess (Sarai), but Noblewoman (Sarah) shall be her name.
16And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her: yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations; kings of people will be of her.
17Then Father of a Multitude (Abraham) fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Noblewoman (Sarah), that is ninety years old, bear?
18And Father of a Multitude (Abraham) said, Oh God (Elohiym)! May it be that God Will Hear (Ishmael) might live before you!
19God (Elohiym) said, Noblewoman (Sarah) your wife will indeed bear a son; and you shall call his name Laughter (Isaac): and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20As for God Will Hear (Ishmael), I have heard you: 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.
21But my covenant will I establish with Laughter (Isaac), which Noblewoman (Sarah) shall bear to you at this set time in the next year.
23Then Father of a Multitude (Abraham) took God Will Hear (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 Father of a Multitude's (Abraham) house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God (Elohiym) had said to him.
24Father of a Multitude (Abraham) was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25And God Will Hear (Ishmael) his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26In the selfsame day Father of a Multitude (Abraham) was circumcised, and God Will Hear (Ishmael) his son.
27And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
