Gen 17:3Avram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

Gen 17:4

Gen 17:4"As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

Gen 17:5

Gen 17:5Neither will your name any more be called Avram, but your name will be Avraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made you.

Gen 17:6

Gen 17:6I will make you exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

Gen 17:9

Gen 17:9God said to Avraham, "As for you, you will keep my covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.

Gen 17:10

Gen 17:10This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

Gen 17:11

Gen 17:11You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of a covenant between me and you.

Gen 17:12

Gen 17:12He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner who is not of your seed.

Gen 17:13

Gen 17:13He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

Gen 17:14The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."

Gen 17:15

Gen 17:15God said to Avraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.

Gen 17:16

Gen 17:16I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."

Gen 17:17

Gen 17:17Then Avraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"

Gen 17:18

Gen 17:18Avraham said to God, "Oh that Yishma'el might live before you!"

Gen 17:19

Gen 17:19God said, "No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Yitzchak. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

Gen 17:20

Gen 17:20As for Yishma'el, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

Gen 17:21

Gen 17:21But my covenant I establish with Yitzchak, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time in the next year."

Gen 17:22

Gen 17:22When he finished talking with him, God went up from Avraham.

Gen 17:23

Gen 17:23Avraham took Yishma'el his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Avraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.
