CHAP. XVII.
1 God reneweth the Couenant. 5 Abram his name is changed, in token of a greater blessing. 10 Circumcision is instituted. 15 Sarai her name is changed, and she blessed. 17 Izsaac is promised. 23 Abram and Ishmael are circumcised.
1 And when Abram was ninetie yeres old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said vnto him, I am the almightie God, walke before me, and be thou perfect.1
2 And I wil make my couenant betweene me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my couenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.4
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall bee Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made thee.5
8 And I will giue vnto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an euerlasting possession, and I will be their God.8
10 This is my couenant, which yee shall keepe betweene me and you, and thy seed after thee: euery man child among you shall be circumcised.10
11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskinne; and it shal be a token of the couenant betwixt me and you.11
12 And he that is eight dayes olde, shalbe circumcised among you, euery man child in your generations, he that is borne in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.12
16 And I will blesse her, and giue thee a sonne also of her: yea I wil blesse her, and she shalbe a mother of nations; Kings of people shall be of her.16
18 And Abraham said vnto God, O that Ishmael might liue before thee.
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall beare thee a sonne in deede, and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my couenant with him, for an euerlasting couenant, and with his seed after him.19
20 And as for Ishmael, I haue heard thee: behold, I haue blessed him, and will make him fruitfull, and will multiplie him exceedingly: Twelue princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.20
22 And he left off talking with him, and God went vp from Abraham.
24 And Abraham was ninety yeeres old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskinne.
26 In the selfe same day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his sonne.
