The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

 1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord ^aappeared to ^bAbram, and said unto him, I am the ^cAlmighty God; ^dwalk before me, and be thou ^eperfect.

 2 And I will make my ^acovenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

 3 ^aAnd Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

 4 As for me, behold, my ^acovenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a ^bfather of many ^cnations.

 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be ^aAbraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

 6 And I will make thee exceeding ^afruitful, and I will make ^bnations of thee, and ^ckings shall come out of thee.

 7 ^aAnd I will establish my ^bcovenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an ^ceverlasting covenant, to be a ^dGod unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

 8 And I will ^agive unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the ^bland wherein thou art a ^cstranger, all the ^dland of ^eCanaan, for an everlasting ^fpossession; and I will be their ^gGod.

 9 ¶And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

 10 This is my ^acovenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be ^bcircumcised.

 11 And ye shall ^acircumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a ^btoken of the ^ccovenant betwixt me and you.

 12 And he that is ^aeight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or ^bbought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an ^aeverlasting covenant.

 14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be ^acut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

 15 ¶And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but ^aSarah shall her name be.

 16 And I will bless her, and ^agive thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a ^bmother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

 17 ^aThen Abraham fell upon his face, and ^blaughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an ^chundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

 18 And Abraham said unto God, O that ^aIshmael might live before thee!

 19 And God said, ^aSarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my ^bcovenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

 20 And as for ^aIshmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; ^btwelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

 21 But my ^acovenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set ^btime in the next year.

 22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

 23 ¶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 ^acircumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

 24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

 26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

 27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
