1When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

1When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless.

2And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

2Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers."

3Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying:

3Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,

4“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

4"As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

5No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.

5No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

6I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.

6I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.

7And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

7I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

8Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”

8The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God."

9And God said to Abraham: “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

9Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.

10This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised;

10This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

11and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

11You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.

12He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant.

12For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner--those who are not your offspring.

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

13Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.

14And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

14Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant."

15Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

15God also said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.

16And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.”

16I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her."

17Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”

17Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?"

18And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!”

18And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!"

19Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

19Then God said, "Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

20And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

20And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.

21But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.”

21But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year."

22Then He finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

22When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.

23So Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very same day, as God had said to him.

23On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.

24Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

24Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

25And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25and his son Ishmael was thirteen;

26That very same day Abraham was circumcised, and his son Ishmael;

26Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that very day.

27and all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

27And every male in Abraham's household, including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.
