MKJV - Genesis - 17

17:1  And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the Almighty God! Walk before Me and be perfect.

17:2  And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.

17:3  And Abram fell on his face. And God talked with him, saying,

17:4  As for Me, behold! My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

17:5  Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham. For I have made you a father of many nations.

17:6  And I will make you exceedingly fruitful, greatly so, and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come out of you.

17:7  And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

17:8  And I will give the land to you in which you are a stranger, and to your seed after you, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. And I will be their God.

17:9  And God said to Abraham, And you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you in their generations.

17:10  This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you. Every male child among you shall be circumcised.

17:11  And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. And it shall be a token of the covenant between Me and you.

17:12  And a son of eight days shall be circumcised among you, every male child in your generations; he that is born in the house, or bought with silver of any stranger who is not of your seed.

17:13  He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your silver, must be circumcised. And my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

17:14  And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.

17:15  And God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.

17:16  And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her. Yes, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations, kings of people shall be from her.

17:17  And Abraham fell upon his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is a hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear?

17:18  And Abraham said to God, Oh that Ishmael might live before You!

17:19  And God said, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed. And you shall call his name Isaac. And I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

17:20  And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

17:21  But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time in the next year.

17:22  And He left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

17:23  And Abraham took his son Ishmael, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his silver; every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins in the same day, even as God said to him.

17:24  And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

17:25  And his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

17:26  In the same day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.

17:27  And all the men of his house, that were born in the house, and bought with silver of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
