Thus, My covenant will be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant. 14 But any uncircumcised male who has not been circumcised in the flesh will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant. 15 Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah. 16 I will bless her and surely give you a son by her. I will bless her so that she will become the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her. 17 Abraham fell facedown and laughed, saying to himself, "Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?" 18 And Abraham said to God, "If only Ishmael might live under Your blessing!" 19 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 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will bless him; I will make him fruitful and greatly multiply his descendants. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. 21 But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year. 22 When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God ascended from him. 23 On that very day, Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or bought with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and circumcised them, as God had told him. 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 25 And his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 26 On that very day, Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. 27 And all the men of his household, whether born in his house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
