1. And it came to be when Aḇram was ninety-nine years old, that יהוה appeared to Aḇram and said to him, “I am Ěl Shaddai – walk before Me and be perfect.
2. “And I give My covenant between Me and you, and shall greatly increase you.”
3. And Aḇram fell on his face, and Elohim spoke with him, saying,
4. “As for Me, look, My covenant is with you, and you shall become a father of many nations.
5. “And no longer is your name called Aḇram, but your name shall be Aḇraham, because I shall make you a father of many nations.
6. “And I shall make you bear fruit exceedingly, and make nations of you, and sovereigns shall come from you.
7. “And I shall establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be Elohim to you and your seed after you.
8. “And I shall give to you and your seed after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Kena‛an, as an everlasting possession. And I shall be their Elohim.”
9. And Elohim said to Aḇraham, “As for you, guard My covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.
10. “This is My covenant which you guard between Me and you, and your seed after you: Every male child among you is to be circumcised.
11. “And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall become a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
12. “And a son of eight days is circumcised by you, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with silver from any foreigner who is not of your seed.
13. “He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your silver, has to be circumcised. So shall My covenant be in your flesh, for an everlasting covenant.
14. “And an uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, his life shall be cut off from his people – he has broken My covenant.”
