017:008 I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land
where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an
everlasting possession. I will be their God."
017:009 God said to Abraham, "As for you, you will keep my covenant,
you and your seed after you throughout their generations.
017:010 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me
and you and your seed after you. Every male among you
shall be circumcised.
017:011 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin.
It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
017:012 He 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 from any foreigner who is
not of your seed.
017:013 He 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.
017:014 The 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."
017:015 God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not
call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.
017:016 I 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."
017:017 Then Abraham 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?"
017:018 Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you!"
017:019 God said, "No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son.
