3 And Abram * h87 fell * h5307 h8799 on his face * h6440: and God * h430 talked * h1696 h8762 with him, saying * h559 h8800,

14 And the uncircumcised * h6189 man child * h2145 whose * h834 flesh * h1320 of his foreskin * h6190 is not circumcised * h4135 h8735, that soul * h5315 shall be cut off * h3772 h8738 from his people * h5971; he hath broken * h6565 h8689 my covenant * h1285.
15 And God * h430 said * h559 h8799 unto Abraham * h85, As for Sarai * h8297 thy wife * h802, thou shalt not call * h7121 h8799 her name * h8034 Sarai * h8297, but * h3588 Sarah * h8283 shall her name * h8034 be . Sarah: that is Princess

19 And God * h430 said * h559 h8799, Sarah * h8283 thy wife * h802 shall bear * h3205 h8802 thee a son * h1121 indeed * h61; and thou shalt call * h7121 h8804 his name * h8034 Isaac * h3327: and I will establish * h6965 h8689 my covenant * h1285 with him for an everlasting * h5769 covenant * h1285, and with his seed * h2233 after him * h310.
20 And as for Ishmael * h3458, I have heard thee * h8085 h8804: Behold, I have blessed * h1288 h8765 him, and will make him fruitful * h6509 h8689, and will multiply * h7235 h8689 him exceedingly * h3966 * h3966; twelve * h6240 * h8147 princes * h5387 shall he beget * h3205 h8686, and I will make him * h5414 h8804 a great * h1419 nation * h1471.

22 And he left off * h3615 h8762 talking * h1696 h8763 with him, and God * h430 went up * h5927 h8799 from Abraham * h85.
23 And Abraham * h85 took * h3947 h8799 Ishmael * h3458 his son * h1121, and all that were born * h3211 in his house * h1004, and all that were bought * h4736 with his money * h3701, every male * h2145 among the men * h582 of Abraham's * h85 house * h1004; and circumcised * h4135 h8799 the flesh * h1320 of their foreskin * h6190 in the selfsame * h6106 day * h3117, as God * h430 had said * h1696 h8765 unto him.
