17. And Aḇraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, “Is a child born to a man who is a hundred years old? Or is Sarah, who is ninety years old, to bear a child?”
18. And Aḇraham said to Elohim, “Oh, let Yishma‛ĕl live before You!”
19. And Elohim said, “No, Sarah your wife is truly bearing a son to you, and you shall call his name Yitsḥaq. And I shall establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20. “And as for Yishma‛ĕl, I have heard you. See, I shall bless him, and shall make him bear fruit, and greatly increase him. He is to bring forth twelve princes, and I shall make him a great nation.
21. “But My covenant I establish with Yitsḥaq, whom Sarah is to bear to you at this set time next year.”
22. And when He had ended speaking with him, Elohim went up from Aḇraham.
23. And Aḇraham took Yishma‛ĕl his son, and all those born in his house and all those bought with his silver, every male among the men of Aḇraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that same day, as Elohim told him.
24. And Aḇraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
25. And Yishma‛ĕl his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
26. Aḇraham and his son Yishma‛ĕl were circumcised that same day.
27. And all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with silver from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
