Genesis 17:3-14 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

3. And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,

4. `I--lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

5. and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

6. and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.

7. `And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

8. and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'

9. And God saith unto Abraham, `And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;

10. this [is] My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you [is] to be circumcised;

11. and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.

12. `And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed;

13. he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;

14. and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.'
