9. And God said unto Abraham,
10. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you; Every male child among you shall be circumcised.
11. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins; and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.
12. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, who is not of your descendants.
13. He that is born in your house, and he that is bought with your money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14. And the uncircumcised male child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.
15. And God said unto Abraham,
16. And I will bless her, and give you a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall come from her.
17. Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
18. And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before you!
19. And God said,
20. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear unto you at this set time in the next year.
22. And he quit talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
