1 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. 2 And I will make my covenant be­tween me and thee, and will mul­ti­ply thee ex­ceed­ing­ly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, say­ing, 4 As for me, be­hold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a fa­ther of many na­tions. 5 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. 6 And I will make thee ex­ceed­ing fruit­ful, and I will make na­tions of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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.
