A circuncisão, sinal da aliança
17 Quando Abrão tinha noventa e nove anos, o SENHOR apareceu-lhe e disse:
—Eu sou o Deus Todo-Poderoso.[a] Viva em comunhão comigo, sendo sempre fiel. 2 Se você fizer isso, eu confirmarei a minha aliança com você e lhe darei muitos descendentes.
3 Abrão inclinou-se diante de Deus, e Deus lhe disse:
4 —Esta é a aliança que faço com você: você será o pai de muitas nações. 5 A partir de agora, o seu nome já não será mais Abrão,[b] mas sim Abraão,[c] pois eu lhe farei pai de muitas nações.
6 Eu lhe darei muitos filhos; de você nascerão reis e grandes nações. 7 Estabelecerei a minha aliança com você e com os seus descendentes, por todas as gerações. Será uma aliança que não terá fim. Prometo ser o seu Deus e o Deus dos seus descendentes. 8 Darei a você e aos seus descendentes a terra onde está agora vivendo como estrangeiro. Você e os seus descendentes possuirão toda a terra de Canaã para sempre. E eu serei o seu Deus.
9 Depois Deus disse a Abraão:
—Mas você deverá cumprir a sua parte da minha aliança, você e os seus descendentes, por todas as gerações. 10 E esta é a aliança que devem cumprir, a aliança que faço com você e com os seus descendentes: todos os seus homens deverão ser circuncidados. 11 A circuncisão será o sinal da aliança que existe entre mim e vocês.
12 —De agora em diante, todo menino que nascer na sua casa deverá ser circuncidado oito dias depois do seu nascimento. E todo escravo comprado de um estrangeiro deverá também ser circuncidado, mesmo que não seja seu descendente. 13 Tanto o escravo nascido na sua casa, como o escravo comprado deverá ser circuncidado. Desta forma, o corpo de vocês será marcado com o sinal da minha aliança eterna. 14 O homem que não for circuncidado deverá ser eliminado[d] do meio do seu povo, já que quebrou a minha aliança.
15 Deus disse também a Abraão:
—Quanto à sua esposa, já não a chame de Sarai. O seu nome de agora em diante será Sara[e]. 16 Eu a abençoarei e você terá um filho por meio dela. Ela será mãe de muitas nações e dela nascerão reis para as nações.
17 Então Abraão inclinou-se diante de Deus e riu dizendo para si mesmo: “Pode um homem de cem anos ter um filho? Pode Sara, com noventa anos, dar à luz um menino?”
18 E Abraão disse a Deus:
—Que Ismael receba a sua bênção.
19 Mas Deus respondeu:
—Não! Será Sara, a sua mulher, que vai lhe dar um filho. E você lhe dará o nome de Isaque[f]. Eu estabelecerei a minha aliança com ele e com a sua descendência depois dele. 20 Também ouvi o seu pedido a favor de Ismael e também o abençoarei. Ele terá muitos filhos e será pai de doze chefes. Eu farei dele uma grande nação. 21 Mas a minha aliança será feita com Isaque, o filho que Sara vai lhe dar daqui a um ano.
22 Quando acabou de falar com Abraão, Deus subiu e se afastou de Abraão. 23 Naquele mesmo dia, Abraão fez o que Deus tinha lhe mandado fazer. Ele circuncidou o seu filho Ismael, todos os escravos que tinham nascido na sua casa ou que tinham sido comprados e todos os outros homens da sua casa. 24 Abraão tinha noventa e nove anos quando foi circuncidado. 25 E o seu filho Ismael tinha treze anos quando foi circuncidado. 26 Abraão e o seu filho Ismael foram circuncidados naquele mesmo dia. 27 E todos os escravos foram também circuncidados com ele, tanto os nascidos na sua casa ou como os comprados de estrangeiros.

The Message
17 1-2 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, God showed up and said to him, “I am The Strong God, live entirely before me, live to the hilt! I’ll make a covenant between us and I’ll give you a huge family.”
3-8 Overwhelmed, Abram fell flat on his face.
Then God said to him, “This is my covenant with you: You’ll be the father of many nations. Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, meaning that ‘I’m making you the father of many nations.’ I’ll make you a father of fathers—I’ll make nations from you, kings will issue from you. I’m establishing my covenant between me and you, a covenant that includes your descendants, a covenant that goes on and on and on, a covenant that commits me to be your God and the God of your descendants. And I’m giving you and your descendants this land where you’re now just camping, this whole country of Canaan, to own forever. And I’ll be their God.”
9-14 God continued to Abraham, “And you: You will honor my covenant, you and your descendants, generation after generation. This is the covenant that you are to honor, the covenant that pulls in all your descendants: Circumcise every male. Circumcise by cutting off the foreskin of the penis; it will be the sign of the covenant between us. Every male baby will be circumcised when he is eight days old, generation after generation—this includes house-born slaves and slaves bought from outsiders who are not blood kin. Make sure you circumcise both your own children and anyone brought in from the outside. That way my covenant will be cut into your body, a permanent mark of my permanent covenant. An uncircumcised male, one who has not had the foreskin of his penis cut off, will be cut off from his people—he has broken my covenant.”
15-16 God continued speaking to Abraham, “And Sarai your wife: Don’t call her Sarai any longer; call her Sarah. I’ll bless her—yes! I’ll give you a son by her! Oh, how I’ll bless her! Nations will come from her; kings of nations will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell flat on his face. And then he laughed, thinking, “Can a hundred-year-old man father a son? And can Sarah, at ninety years, have a baby?”
18 Recovering, Abraham said to God, “Oh, keep Ishmael alive and well before you!”
19 But God said, “That’s not what I mean. Your wife, Sarah, will have a baby, a son. Name him Isaac (Laughter). I’ll establish my covenant with him and his descendants, a covenant that lasts forever.
20-21 “And Ishmael? Yes, I heard your prayer for him. I’ll also bless him; I’ll make sure he has plenty of children—a huge family. He’ll father twelve princes; I’ll make him a great nation. But I’ll establish my covenant with Isaac whom Sarah will give you about this time next year.”
22 God finished speaking with Abraham and left.
23 Then Abraham took his son Ishmael and all his servants, whether houseborn or purchased—every male in his household—and circumcised them, cutting off their foreskins that very day, just as God had told him.
24-27 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised. His son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised. Abraham and Ishmael were circumcised the same day together with all the servants of his household, those born there and those purchased from outsiders—all were circumcised with him.

The Covenant of Circumcision
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old,(A) the Lord appeared to him(B) and said, “I am God Almighty[a];(C) walk before me faithfully and be blameless.(D) 2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you(E) and will greatly increase your numbers.”(F)
3 Abram fell facedown,(G) and God said to him, 4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you:(H) You will be the father of many nations.(I) 5 No longer will you be called Abram[b]; your name will be Abraham,[c](J) for I have made you a father of many nations.(K) 6 I will make you very fruitful;(L) I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.(M) 7 I will establish my covenant(N) as an everlasting covenant(O) between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God(P) and the God of your descendants after you.(Q) 8 The whole land of Canaan,(R) where you now reside as a foreigner,(S) I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you;(T) and I will be their God.(U)”
9 Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant,(V) you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.(W) 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.(X) 11 You are to undergo circumcision,(Y) and it will be the sign of the covenant(Z) between me and you. 12 For the generations to come(AA) every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised,(AB) including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised.(AC) My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.(AD) 14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised(AE) in the flesh, will be cut off from his people;(AF) he has broken my covenant.(AG)”
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai(AH) your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.(AI) 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her.(AJ) I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations;(AK) kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell facedown;(AL) he laughed(AM) and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old?(AN) Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?”(AO) 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael(AP) might live under your blessing!”(AQ)
19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son,(AR) and you will call him Isaac.[d](AS) I will establish my covenant with him(AT) as an everlasting covenant(AU) for his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers.(AV) He will be the father of twelve rulers,(AW) and I will make him into a great nation.(AX) 21 But my covenant(AY) I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you(AZ) by this time next year.”(BA) 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.(BB)
23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household(BC) or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.(BD) 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old(BE) when he was circumcised,(BF) 25 and his son Ishmael(BG) was thirteen; 26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that very day. 27 And every male in Abraham’s household(BH), including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.
