Genesis 17:6-22 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

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.'

15. And God saith unto Abraham, `Sarai thy wife--thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name;

16. and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations--kings of peoples are from her.'

17. And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, `To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah--daughter of ninety years--bear?'

18. And Abraham saith unto God, `O that Ishmael may live before Thee;'

19. and God saith, `Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.

20. As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;

21. and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;'

22. and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.
