When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be perfect before me, and I will make a covenant with you, and your descendants will multiply. Abram fell on his face; God also said to him, "I will make a Covenant with you, and you will be the father of many countries." From now on, your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, for I have made you the father of many nations. I will multiply your descendants greatly; The kingdom comes from you, and the king comes from you. I will establish my Covenant with you and your descendants from generation to generation, and I will be your God for ever. I will give you and your descendants the place where you live now, all the land of Canaan, for an inheritance forever; I want to be their god, too. God also said to Abraham, You and your descendants will keep my covenant from generation to generation. All of you will be circumcised. This is my agreement with you and your descendants, and you should keep it. You are all to be circumcised. Fourteen, twenty-three, twenty-four and twenty-five sections are the same); This is evidence that I have reached an agreement with you. All your generations of men, whether born at home or bought from strangers other than your descendants, will be circumcised on the eighth day after birth. All those born in your family and those you bought with money are to be circumcised. So my covenant will be established in you and become an everlasting covenant. But the uncircumcised man will be cut off from his people, because he has broken my Covenant. "God also said to Abraham," Your wife Sarai will no longer be called Sarai, but her name will be Sarah. I will bless her and let her have a son for you. I will bless her, and she will be the mother of many nations; A king of the people will be born from her. Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, can a man who is a hundred years old have a child? Sarah is ninety years old. Can she still have children? Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael would live before you." "No, your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac." I will establish my covenant with him and make an everlasting covenant for his descendants. As for Ishmael, I also promise you that I will bless him and make him prosperous and multiply. He will have twelve parents; I also want him to be a great country. At this time next year, Sarah will bear you Isaac, and I will establish my Covenant with him. When God had finished talking with Abraham, he left him and went up.
On that very day, Abraham circumcised his son Ishmael and all the males in his family, whether born at home or bought with money, according to the command of God. Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised. His son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised.
Abraham and Ishmael his son were circumcised on that very day. All the people in the family, whether born at home or bought from foreigners with money, were circumcised together.
