01:017:015 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai
thy wife, thou shalt
not
call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
01:017:016 And I will bless her, and give thee a son
also of her: yea, I
will
bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings
of
people
shall be of her.
01:017:017 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed,
and said in his
heart,
Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years
old?
and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
01:017:018 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael
might live before
thee!
01:017:019 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear
thee a son indeed; and
thou
shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish
my
covenant
with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his
seed
after him.
01:017:020 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee:
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.
01:017:021 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac,
which Sarah shall
bear
unto thee at this set time in the next year.
01:017:022 And he left off talking with him, and God
went up from
Abraham.
01:017:023 And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all
that were born in
his
house, and all that were bought with his money, every
male
among
the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the
flesh of
their
foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto
him.
01:017:024 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine,
when he was
circumcised
in the flesh of his foreskin.
01:017:025 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years
old, when he was
circumcised
in the flesh of his foreskin.
01:017:026 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised,
and Ishmael his
son.
01:017:027 And all the men of his house, born in the
house, and bought
with
money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
01:018:001 And the lord appeared unto him in
the plains of Mamre: and he
sat
in the tent door in the heat of the day;
01:018:002 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and,
lo, three men stood
by
him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them
from the
tent
door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
01:018:003 And said, My lord, if now I have found
favour in thy sight,
pass
not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
01:018:004 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched,
and wash your
feet,
and rest yourselves under the tree:
01:018:005 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and
comfort ye your
hearts;
after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are
ye come
to
your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast
said.
