1 And it came to be when Aḇram was ninety-nine years old, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 appeared to Aḇram and said to him, “I am Ĕl Shaddai – walk before Me and be perfect.
2 “And I give My Covenant between Me and you, and shall greatly increase you.”
3 And Aḇram fell on his face, and Elohim spoke with him, saying,
4 “As for Me, look, My Covenant is with you, and you shall become a father of many nations.
5 “And no longer is your name called Aḇram, but your name shall be Aḇraham, because I shall make you a father of many nations.
6 “And I shall make you bear fruit exceedingly, and make nations of you, and sovereigns shall come from you.
7 “And I shall establish My Covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations, for an everlasting Covenant, to be Elohim to you and your seed after you.
8 “And I shall give to you and your seed after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Kena’an, as an everlasting possession. And I shall be their Elohim.”
9 And Elohim said to Aḇraham, “As for you, guard My Covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.
10 “This is My Covenant which you guard between Me and you, and your seed after you: Every male child among you is to be circumcised.
11 “And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall become a sign of the Covenant between Me and you.
12 “And a son of eight days is circumcised by you, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with silver from any foreigner who is not of your seed.
13 “He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your silver, has to be circumcised. So shall My Covenant be in your flesh, for an everlasting Covenant.
14 “And an uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, his life shall be cut off from his people – he has broken My Covenant.”
15 And Elohim said to Aḇraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name.
16 “And I shall baraḵ her and also give you a son by her. And I shall baraḵ her, and she shall become nations – sovereigns of peoples are to be from her.”
17 And Aḇraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “ls a child born to a man who is a hundred years old? Or is Sarah, who is ninety years old, to bear a child?”
18 And Aḇraham said to Elohim, “Oh, let Yishma’ĕl live before You!”
19 And Elohim said, “No, Sarah your wife is truly bearing a son to you, and you shall call his name Yitsḥaq. And I shall establish My Covenant with him for an everlasting Covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 “And as for Yishma’ĕl, I have heard you. See, I shall baraḵ him, and shall make him bear fruit, and greatly increase him. He is to bring forth twelve princes, and I shall make him a great nation.
21 “But My Covenant I establish with Yitsḥaq, whom Sarah is to bear to you at this appointed time next year.”
22 And when He had ended speaking with him, Elohim went up from Aḇraham.
23 And Aḇraham took Yishma’ĕl his son, and all those born in his house and all those bought with his silver, every male among the men of Aḇraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that same day, as Elohim told him.
24 And Aḇraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25 And Yishma’ĕl his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26 Aḇraham and his son Yishma’ĕl were circumcised that same day.
27 And all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with silver from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
