Genesis Chapter 17 (Passion Bible)

Compare with Version:

¹ When Abram was ninety-nine years old,[1] Yahweh appeared to him again and said, “I am the God who is more than enough.[2] Live your life in my presence[3] and be blameless.[4]

² I will confirm my covenant between me and you, and I will greatly multiply your descendants.”

³ Then Abram fell on his face in awe before God,[5] and God said to him,

⁴ “I establish my covenant with you:

⁵ You will no longer be named Abram

⁶ I will make you abundantly fruitful, more than you expect.

⁷ Yes, I will establish my eternal covenant of love between me and you,

⁸ I will give to you and your seed

⁹ God explained to Abraham, “Your part of the covenant is to obey its terms, you and your descendants throughout the ages.

¹⁰ So here is the sign of the covenant that you are to keep, so that it will endure between you and me and your descendants: circumcise[10] every male among you.

¹¹ You must undergo cutting off the flesh of your foreskin as a special sign of the covenant between me and you.

¹² Throughout your generations, each male child must be circumcised eight days after his birth. This includes those not of your descendants—those born in your household and foreign-born servants whom you have purchased;

¹³ they must be circumcised, homeborn and purchased alike. In this way, you will carry in your flesh the sign of my everlasting covenant.

¹⁴ Any uncircumcised male who does not have the foreskin of his flesh cut off will be cut off from his people, for he has broken my covenant.”

¹⁵ God also said to Abraham:

¹⁶ I will wonderfully bless her,

¹⁷ Then Abraham laughed so hard he fell to the ground, saying to himself, “How in the world can a hundred-year-old man become a father? How can my wife Sarah get pregnant at ninety?”

¹⁸ And then he spoke out loud: “O, that Ishmael might prosper with your blessing!”[12]

¹⁹ God said, “Listen to me. I promise that you and Sarah will have a son, and you will call him Isaac.[13] I will confirm my everlasting covenant of love with him and his seed.

²⁰ And regarding Ishmael, I have heard your cry and I will indeed bless him. I will cause him to have many, many descendants. He will father twelve rulers,[14] and I will make him into a great nation.

²¹ But my everlasting covenant relationship is with Isaac, who will be born to you and Sarah about this time next year.”

²² When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God ascended up to heaven.[15]

²³ So without delay Abraham obeyed God and took his son Ishmael and every male in his household (whether born in his house or foreign-born servants) and circumcised them that very same day.

²⁴ Abraham was already ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,

²⁵ and his son Ishmael was thirteen.

²⁶ They were both circumcised on the same day,

²⁷ along with all the men of his household (whether born in his house or foreign-born servants).
