And after he began to be ninety and nine years old, the Lord appeared to him: and said unto him: I am the Almighty God: walk before me, and be perfect.

²And I will make my covenant between me and thee: and I will multiply thee exceedingly.

³Abram fell flat on his face.

⁴And God said to him: I am, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

⁵Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations.

⁶And I will make thee increase exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

⁷And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy seed after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

⁸And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan, for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God.

⁹Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

¹⁰This is my covenant which you shall observe between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall be circumcised.

¹¹And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a sign of the covenant between me and you.

¹²An infant of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations: he that is born in the house, as well as the bought servant, shall be circumcised, and whosoever is not of your stock:

¹³And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.

¹⁴The male whose flesh of his foreskin shall not be circumcised, that soul shall be destroyed out of his people: because he hath broken my covenant.

Read in Logos
