God said to Abraham, you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenants between me and you. He that is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, both he that is born in your house and he that is bought with your money, shall be circumcised.

So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant. Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people, he has broken my covenant.

God said to Abraham, as for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. I will bless her, and I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of the nation, kings of people shall come from her.

Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to himself, shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old?
Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?
Abraham said to God, o that Ishmael might live in thy sight!

God said, no, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

As for Ishmael, I have heard you behold, behold, I will bless him and make him fruitful and multiply him exceedingly, he shall be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this season next year. When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

Then Abraham took Ishmael his son and all the slaves born in his house or bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house, and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins that very day, as God had said to him.

Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

That very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised, and all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

Beloved, please let keep on visiting for more ideas. Thanks for being with us.
