Genesis chapter 17.
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:23.679
When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, I am God Almighty, walk before me and be blameless, that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.
00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:30.399
That Abram fell on his face, and God said to him, Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:37.280
No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:51.039
I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you, and I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:59.600
And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:06.719
And God said to Abraham, As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout your their generations.
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.799
This is my covenant which you shall keep between me and you and your offspring after you.
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.560
Every male among you shall be circumcised.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:22.000
You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.879
He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised.
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:38.400
Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or bought with your money, from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money shall surely be circumcised.
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.239
So shall my covenant be in your flesh, an everlasting covenant.
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.640
Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from the people.
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.519
He has broken my covenant.
00:01:51.760 --> 00:02:02.319
And God said to Abraham, As for Sarah, your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name, and I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her.
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.400
I will bless her, and she shall become nations, kings of people shall come from her.
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.960
Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old?
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:16.000
Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.400
And Abram said, said to God, Oh, that Ishmael might live before you.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.159
God said, No.
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.000
But Sarah, your wife, shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.319
I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.000
As for Ishmael, I have heard you.
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.360
Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly.
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:44.080
He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation, but I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.199
When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.
00:02:47.280 --> 00:03:03.520
Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him, Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:09.039
And Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:19.199
That very day, Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised, and all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.080
This is the word of the Lord.
