When Abram was ninety-nine ... years old ... , the LORD appeared to him and said , ... “ I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.
| LXX |
I will establish My covenant between Me and you , ... and I will multiply you exceedingly .... ”
| LXX |
Then Abram fell facedown ... ... , and God ... said to him ,
| LXX |
“ As for Me , this is My covenant with you : You will be the father of many nations.
| LXX |
No longer {will} - you be called - Abram , but your name will be Abraham , for I have made you a father of many nations.
| LXX |
I will make you exceedingly ... - fruitful ; I will make nations (of you) , and kings will descend from you.
| LXX |
I will establish - My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you ... ... and your descendants ... after you , to be God and the God of your descendants after you.
| LXX |
and your descendants - I will give the land where you are residing — - all the land of Canaan — as an eternal possession ; and I will be God. ”
| LXX |
God also said to Abraham , “ You - must keep My covenant — you and your descendants in the generations after you.
| LXX |
This is My covenant with ... ... you and your descendants after you , which you are to keep : Every male among you must be circumcised.
| LXX |
You are to circumcise - the flesh of your foreskin , and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you. ...
| LXX |
Generation after generation , every male must be circumcised - when he is eight days old , including those born in your household and those purchased ... from a ... foreigner — even those who are not your offspring.
| LXX |
Whether they are born in your household or purchased ... , they must be circumcised .... My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.
| LXX |
- But if any male - is not circumcised - - ... , (he) ... will be cut off from his people ; - he has broken My covenant. ”
| LXX |
Then God said to Abraham , “ As for Sarai your wife , do not call - her Sarai , for her name (is to be) Sarah.
| LXX |
And I will bless her - and will surely give a son by her. I will bless her , and she will be (the mother) of nations ; kings of peoples will descend from her. ”
| LXX |
Abraham fell facedown .... ... Then he laughed and said to himself , “ Can a child be born ... to a man who is a hundred years old ? Can Sarah ... give birth at the age of ninety ... ? ”
| LXX |
And Abraham said to God , “ O that Ishmael might live under Your (blessing) ! ”
| LXX |
But God replied , “ Your wife Sarah {will} indeed bear a son , and you are to name - him Isaac. I will establish - My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
| LXX |
As for Ishmael , I have heard you , (and) I will surely bless him ; I will make him fruitful - and multiply him greatly .... He will become the father of twelve ... rulers , and I will make him into a great nation.
| LXX |
But I will establish My covenant with Isaac , whom Sarah will bear at this time next year. ”
| LXX |
When He had finished speaking with (Abraham) , God went up from (him).
| LXX |
On that very day Abraham - took his son - Ishmael and all those born in his household - or purchased with his money — ... every male among the members of Abraham’s household — and he circumcised them ... ... ... , just as God had told him.
| LXX |
So Abraham was ninety-nine ... years old ... vvv vvv when he was circumcised ,
| LXX |
and his son Ishmael was thirteen ... ... ... - - - - ;
| LXX |
Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
| LXX |
And all the men of (Abraham’s) household — both servants born in his household and those purchased ... ... ... from foreigners ... — were circumcised with him.
