Abraham and the Covenant of Circumcision
17 Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, (A)the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him,
“I am [a]God (B)Almighty;
Walk before Me, and be [b](C)blameless.
2 I will [c]make My (D)covenant between Me and you,
And I will (E)multiply you exceedingly.”
3 Abram (F)fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a (G)multitude of nations.
5 No longer shall you be named [d]Abram,
But (H)your name shall be [e]Abraham;
For (I)I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and (J)kings will come from you. 7 I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your [f]descendants after you throughout their generations as an (K)everlasting covenant, (L)to be God to you and (M)to your [g]descendants after you. 8 And (N)I will give to you and to your [h]descendants after you the land where you live as a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and (O)I will be their God.”
9 God said further to Abraham, “Now as for you, (P)you shall keep My covenant, you and your [i]descendants after you throughout their generations. 10 (Q)This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your [j]descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 And (R)you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you. 12 And every male among you who is (S)eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, including a slave who is born in the house or who is bought with money from any foreigner, who is not of your [k]descendants. 13 A slave who is born in your house or (T)who is bought with your money shall certainly be circumcised; so My covenant shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant. 14 But as for an uncircumcised male, one who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be (U)cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, you shall not call her by the name [l]Sarai, but [m]Sarah shall be her name. 16 I will bless her, and indeed I will give you (V)a son by her. Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; (W)kings of peoples will [n]come from her.” 17 Then Abraham (X)fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to a man a hundred years old? And (Y)will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth to a child?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before You!” 19 But God said, “No, but your wife Sarah will bear you (Z)a son, and you shall name him [o]Isaac; and (AA)I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his [p]descendants after him. 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and (AB)make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly. (AC)He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a (AD)great nation. 21 But I will establish My covenant with (AE)Isaac, whom (AF)Sarah will bear to you at this season next year.” 22 When He finished talking with him, (AG)God went up from Abraham.
23 Then Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all the slaves who were (AH)born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on this very same day, (AI)as God had said to him. 24 Now Abraham was ninety-nine years old when (AJ)he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 25 And his son (AK)Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 26 On this very same day Abraham was circumcised, as well as his son Ishmael. 27 And all the men of his household, those who were (AL)born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner, 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.

Abraham and the Covenant of Circumcision
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the [a]Lord appeared to him and said,
“I am [b]God Almighty;
Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me].
2
“I will establish My covenant (everlasting promise) between Me and you,
And I will multiply you exceedingly [through your descendants].”
3 Then Abram fell on his face [in worship], and God spoke with him, saying,
4
“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And [as a result] you shall be the father of many nations.
5
“No longer shall your name be Abram (exalted father),
But your name shall be Abraham (father of a multitude);
For I will make you the father of many nations.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and [c]kings will come from you. 7 I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.(A) 8 I will give to you and to your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger [moving from place to place], all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession [of property]; and I will be their God.”(B)
9 Further, God said to Abraham, “As for you [your part of the agreement], you shall keep and faithfully obey [the terms of] My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 10 This is [the sign of] My covenant, which you shall keep and faithfully obey, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be the sign (symbol, memorial) of the covenant between Me and you. 12 Every male among you who is eight days old shall be circumcised throughout your generations, [including] a servant whether born in the house or one who is purchased with [your] money from any foreigner, who is not of your descendants. 13 A servant who is born in your house or one who is purchased with your money must be circumcised; and [the sign of] My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai (my princess), but her name will be Sarah ([d]Princess). 16 I will bless her, and indeed I will also give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.” 17 Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh, that Ishmael [my firstborn] might live before You!” 19 But God said, “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed, and you shall name him Isaac (laughter); and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him. 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard and listened to you; behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful and will greatly multiply him [through his descendants]. He will be the father of twelve princes (chieftains, sheiks), and I will make him a great nation.(C) 21 But My covenant [My promise, My solemn pledge], I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.” 22 And God finished speaking with him and went up from Abraham.
23 Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants who were born in his house and all who were purchased with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin the very same day, as God had said to him. 24 So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised. 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised. 26 On the very same day Abraham was circumcised, as well as Ishmael his son. 27 All the men [servants] of his household, both those born in the house and those purchased with money from a foreigner, were circumcised along with him [as the sign of God’s covenant with Abraham].

Deus muda o nome de Abrão
17 Sendo, pois, Abrão da idade de noventa e nove anos, apareceu o Senhor a Abrão e disse-lhe: Eu sou o Deus Todo-Poderoso; anda em minha presença e sê perfeito. 2 E porei o meu concerto entre mim e ti e te multiplicarei grandissimamente. 3 Então, caiu Abrão sobre o seu rosto, e falou Deus com ele, dizendo: 4 Quanto a mim, eis o meu concerto contigo é, e serás o pai de uma multidão de nações. 5 E não se chamará mais o teu nome Abrão, mas Abraão será o teu nome; porque por pai da multidão de nações te tenho posto. 6 E te farei frutificar grandissimamente e de ti farei nações, e reis sairão de ti. 7 E estabelecerei o meu concerto entre mim e ti e a tua semente depois de ti em suas gerações, por concerto perpétuo, para te ser a ti por Deus e à tua semente depois de ti. 8 E te darei a ti e à tua semente depois de ti a terra de tuas peregrinações, toda a terra de Canaã em perpétua possessão, e ser-lhes-ei o seu Deus.
9 Disse mais Deus a Abraão: Tu, porém, guardarás o meu concerto, tu e a tua semente depois de ti, nas suas gerações. 10 Este é o meu concerto, que guardareis entre mim e vós e a tua semente depois de ti: Que todo macho será circuncidado. 11 E circuncidareis a carne do vosso prepúcio; e isto será por sinal do concerto entre mim e vós. 12 O filho de oito dias, pois, será circuncidado; todo macho nas vossas gerações, o nascido na casa e o comprado por dinheiro a qualquer estrangeiro, que não for da tua semente. 13 Com efeito, será circuncidado o nascido em tua casa e o comprado por teu dinheiro; e estará o meu concerto na vossa carne por concerto perpétuo. 14 E o macho com prepúcio, cuja carne do prepúcio não estiver circuncidada, aquela alma será extirpada dos seus povos; quebrantou o meu concerto.
Deus muda o nome de Sarai
15 Disse Deus mais a Abraão: a Sarai, tua mulher, não chamarás mais pelo nome de Sarai, mas Sara será o seu nome. 16 Porque eu a hei de abençoar e te hei de dar a ti dela um filho; e a abençoarei, e será mãe das nações; reis de povos sairão dela. 17 Então, caiu Abraão sobre o seu rosto, e riu-se, e disse no seu coração: A um homem de cem anos há de nascer um filho? E conceberá Sara na idade de noventa anos? 18 E disse Abraão a Deus: Tomara que viva Ismael diante de teu rosto! 19 E disse Deus: Na verdade, Sara, tua mulher, te dará um filho, e chamarás o seu nome Isaque; e com ele estabelecerei o meu concerto, por concerto perpétuo para a sua semente depois dele. 20 E, quanto a Ismael, também te tenho ouvido: eis aqui o tenho abençoado, e fá-lo-ei frutificar, e fá-lo-ei multiplicar grandissimamente; doze príncipes gerará, e dele farei uma grande nação. 21 O meu concerto, porém, estabelecerei com Isaque, o qual Sara te dará neste tempo determinado, no ano seguinte. 22 E acabou de falar com ele e subiu Deus de Abraão.
A instituição da circuncisão
23 Então, tomou Abraão a seu filho Ismael, e a todos os nascidos na sua casa, e a todos os comprados por seu dinheiro, todo macho entre os homens da casa de Abraão; e circuncidou a carne do seu prepúcio, naquele mesmo dia, como Deus falara com ele. 24 E era Abraão da idade de noventa e nove anos, quando lhe foi circuncidada a carne do seu prepúcio. 25 E Ismael, seu filho, era da idade de treze anos, quando lhe foi circuncidada a carne do seu prepúcio. 26 Neste mesmo dia, foi circuncidado Abraão e Ismael, seu filho. 27 E todos os homens da sua casa, o nascido em casa e o comprado por dinheiro do estrangeiro, foram circuncidados com ele.

A Circuncisão: O Sinal da Aliança
17 Quando Abrão estava com noventa e nove anos de idade o Senhor lhe apareceu e disse: “Eu sou o Deus todo-poderoso[a]; ande segundo a minha vontade e seja íntegro. 2 Estabelecerei a minha aliança entre mim e você e multiplicarei muitíssimo a sua descendência”.
3 Abrão prostrou-se, rosto em terra, e Deus lhe disse: 4 “De minha parte, esta é a minha aliança com você. Você será o pai de muitas nações. 5 Não será mais chamado Abrão; seu nome será Abraão[b], porque eu o constituí pai de muitas nações. 6 Eu o tornarei extremamente prolífero; de você farei nações e de você procederão reis. 7 Estabelecerei a minha aliança como aliança eterna entre mim e você e os seus futuros descendentes, para ser o seu Deus e o Deus dos seus descendentes. 8 Toda a terra de Canaã, onde agora você é estrangeiro, darei como propriedade perpétua a você e a seus descendentes; e serei o Deus deles.
9 “De sua parte”, disse Deus a Abraão, “guarde a minha aliança, tanto você como os seus futuros descendentes. 10 Esta é a minha aliança com você e com os seus descendentes, aliança que terá que ser guardada: Todos os do sexo masculino entre vocês serão circuncidados na carne. 11 Terão que fazer essa marca, que será o sinal da aliança entre mim e vocês. 12 Da sua geração em diante, todo menino de oito dias de idade entre vocês terá que ser circuncidado, tanto os nascidos em sua casa quanto os que forem comprados de estrangeiros e que não forem descendentes de vocês. 13 Sejam nascidos em sua casa, sejam comprados, terão que ser circuncidados. Minha aliança, marcada no corpo de vocês, será uma aliança perpétua. 14 Qualquer do sexo masculino que for incircunciso, que não tiver sido circuncidado, será eliminado do meio do seu povo; quebrou a minha aliança”.
15 Disse também Deus a Abraão: “De agora em diante sua mulher já não se chamará Sarai; seu nome será Sara[c]. 16 Eu a abençoarei e também por meio dela darei a você um filho. Sim, eu a abençoarei e dela procederão nações e reis de povos”.
17 Abraão prostrou-se, rosto em terra; riu-se e disse a si mesmo: “Poderá um homem de cem anos de idade gerar um filho? Poderá Sara dar à luz aos noventa anos?” 18 E Abraão disse a Deus: “Permite que Ismael seja o meu herdeiro![d]”
19 Então Deus respondeu: “Na verdade Sara, sua mulher, lhe dará um filho, e você lhe chamará Isaque[e]. Com ele estabelecerei a minha aliança, que será aliança eterna para os seus futuros descendentes. 20 E no caso de Ismael, levarei em conta o seu pedido. Também o abençoarei; eu o farei prolífero e multiplicarei muito a sua descendência. Ele será pai de doze príncipes e dele farei um grande povo. 21 Mas a minha aliança, eu a estabelecerei com Isaque, filho que Sara lhe dará no ano que vem, por esta época”. 22 Quando terminou de falar com Abraão, Deus subiu e retirou-se da presença dele.
23 Naquele mesmo dia Abraão tomou seu filho Ismael, todos os nascidos em sua casa e os que foram comprados, todos os do sexo masculino de sua casa, e os circuncidou, como Deus lhe ordenara. 24 Abraão tinha noventa e nove anos quando foi circuncidado, 25 e seu filho Ismael tinha treze; 26 Abraão e seu filho Ismael foram circuncidados naquele mesmo dia. 27 E com Abraão foram circuncidados todos os de sua casa, tanto os nascidos em casa como os comprados de estrangeiros.
