19. God replied, “No! Your wife Sarah will give you a son, and you will name him Isaac [He Laughs]. I will make an everlasting promise to him and his descendants.
20. I have heard your request about Ishmael. Yes, I will bless him, make him fertile, and increase the number of his descendants. He will be the father of 12 princes, and I will make him a great nation.
21. But I will make my promise to Isaac. Sarah will give birth to him at this time next year.”
22. When God finished speaking with Abraham, he left him.
23. So Abraham took his son Ishmael, everyone born in his household, and everyone bought with money—every male in his household—and circumcised them that day, as God had told him.
24. Abraham was 99 years old when he was circumcised.
25. His son Ishmael was 13 years old when he was circumcised.
26. That same day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.
27. All the men of his household, whether born in the household or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
