2 And I wyll make my couenaunt betweene me and thee, and wyll multiplie thee exceedyngly. that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”
3 And Abram fell on his face, & God talked with hym, saying: Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,
4 It is I, behold my couenaut is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shalbe called Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made thee. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

8 And I wyll geue vnto thee and to thy seede after thee, the lande wherein thou art a strauger euen al the lande of Chanaan, for an euerlastyng possession, and wyll be their God. And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.” The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
9 And God said agayne vnto Abraham: thou shalt kepe my couenaunt therfore, both thou & thy seede after thee in their generations. And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.
10 This is my couenaunt which ye shall kepe betweene me & you, and thy seede after thee: euery man chylde among you shalbe circumcised. This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 Ye shal circumcise the fleshe of your foreskyn, and it shalbe a token of the couenaunt betwixt me and you.

12 And euery man chylde of eyght dayes olde shalbe circumcised amongst you in your generations, both he that is borne in thy house, as he that is bought with money of any straunger, whiche is not of thy seede. He who 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, For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring.
13 He that is borne in thy house, and he also that is bought with money, must needes be circumcised: & my couenaut shalbe in your fleshe for an euerlastyng couenaunt. both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money, shall surely be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant. Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.
14 And the vncircumcised manchylde, in whose fleshe the foreskyn is not circumcised, that soule shalbe cut of from his people, because he hath broken my couenaunt.

15 And God sayde vnto Abraham: Sarai thy wyfe shalt thou not call Sarai, but Sara shall her name be. And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.
16 And I wyll blesse her, and geue thee a sonne of her: yea, I wyll blesse her, and she shalbe a mother of nations, yea & kynges of people shall sprynge of her. I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.” I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 But Abraham fell vppon his face, and laughed, and sayde in his heart: shall a chylde be borne vnto hym that is an hundreth yere olde? And shall Sara that is ninetie yere olde beare? 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 fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?”
18 And Abraham sayde vnto God: O that Ismael myght lyue in thy syght. And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!” And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael might live under your blessing!”
19 Unto who God sayd: Sara thy wife shall beare thee a sonne in deede, & thou shalt call his name Isahac: and I wyll establishe my couenaunt with hym for an euerlastyng couenaunt and with his seede after hym. 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 offspring after him. Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
20 And as concernyng Ismael also I haue hearde thee: for I haue blessed him, and wyll make him fruitefull, and wyl multiplie him excedingly: Twelue princes shall he beget, and I wyll make a great nation of hym. As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.
21 But my couenaunt wyl I make with Isahac whiche Sara shall beare vnto thee, euen this tyme twelue moneth. But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.” But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.”
22 And he left of talkyng with hym, and departed vp from Abraham. When he had finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham. When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
23 Abraham toke Ismael his sonne, and such as were borne in his house, & al that was bought with money, as many as were men chyldren, whiche were amongst the men of Abrahams house, & circumcised the fleshe of their foreskinne euen in the selfe same day, as God had sayde vnto hym. Then Abraham took Ishmael his son and all those 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. On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.

25 Ismael his sonne was thirtie yere old when he was circumcised in the fleshe of his foreskynne. And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. and his son Ishmael was thirteen;
26 The selfe same day was Abraham circumcised and Ismael his sonne. That very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that very day.
27 And all the men of his house, borne in his house, or bought with money of straungers were circumcised with him. And all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
