Ang Pagtutuli, Palatandaan ng Kasunduan
17 Nang siyamnapu't siyam na taon na si Abram, nagpakita sa kanya si Yahweh at sinabi, “Ako ang Makapangyarihang Diyos. Sumunod ka sa akin at ingatan mong walang dungis ang iyong sarili habang ikaw ay nabubuhay. 2 Ako'y makikipagtipan sa iyo at lubhang pararamihin ko ang iyong lahi.” 3 Pagkarinig nito'y nagpatirapa si Abram. Sinabi pa sa kanya ng Diyos, 4 “Ito ang aking tipan sa iyo: Ikaw ay magiging ama ng maraming bansa. 5 Hindi(A) na Abram ang itatawag sa iyo kundi Abraham,[a] sapagkat ngayo'y ginagawa kitang ama ng maraming bansa. 6 Pararamihin ko nga ang iyong lahi at magtatatag sila ng mga bansa; at may magiging hari sa kanila.
7 “Tutuparin(B) ko ang aking pangako sa iyo at sa iyong lahi habang panahon, at ako'y magiging Diyos ninyo. 8 Ibibigay(C) ko sa iyo at sa iyong magiging lahi ang lupaing ito ng Canaan na iyong tinitirhan ngayon bilang isang dayuhan. Ito ang magiging pag-aari nila sa habang panahon, at ako ang kanilang magiging Diyos.”
9 Sinabi pa ng Diyos kay Abraham, “Ikaw at ang lahat ng susunod mong salinlahi ay dapat maging tapat sa ating kasunduan. 10 Ganito(D) ang inyong gagawin: lahat ng lalaki sa inyo ay tutuliin, 11 at iyan ang magiging palatandaan ng ating tipan. 12 Lahat ng lalaki na isisilang sa inyong lahi ay tutuliin pagsapit ng ikawalong araw, kasama rito ang mga aliping isinilang sa inyong sambahayan, gayundin ang mga aliping binili sa dayuhan. 13 Ang palatandaang ito sa inyong katawan ang magiging katibayan ng ating walang katapusang kasunduan. 14 Ang sinumang lalaking hindi tuli ay ititiwalag sa iyong lahi sapagkat hindi siya tumupad sa ating kasunduan.”
15 Sinabi pa rin ng Diyos kay Abraham, “Hindi na Sarai ang itatawag mo sa iyong asawa kundi Sara[b] 16 sapagkat siya'y pagpapalain ko. Magkakaanak ka sa kanya at siya'y magiging ina ng maraming bansa; may magiging hari mula sa kanyang mga salinlahi.”
17 Muling nagpatirapa si Abraham, ngunit napatawa siya nang kanyang maisip na siya'y matanda na. Nasabi niya sa sarili, “Magkakaanak pa ba ang isang lalaki na sandaang taóng gulang na? At si Sara! Maglilihi pa ba siya gayong siya'y siyamnapung taon na?” 18 At sinabi niya sa Diyos, “Bakit hindi na lang po si Ismael ang magmana ng mga ipinangako ninyo sa akin?”
19 Kaya't sumagot ang Diyos, “Hindi; ang asawa mong si Sara ay magkakaanak ng isang lalaki at tatawagin mo siyang Isaac.[c] Makikipagtipan ako sa kanya at sa kanyang lahi magpakailanman. 20 Tungkol naman kay Ismael, ipagkakaloob ko ang kahilingan mo: Pagpapalain ko siya at pararamihin ko rin ang kanyang lahi. Magkakaanak siya ng labindalawang prinsipe, at magiging bansang makapangyarihan ang kanyang salinlahi. 21 Ngunit ang aking tipan sa iyo ay matutupad kay Isaac, na isisilang ni Sara sa isang taon, sa ganito ring panahon.” 22 Pagkasabi nito, nilisan ng Diyos si Abraham.
23 Nang araw ring iyon, ayon sa utos ng Diyos, tinuli ni Abraham si Ismael at lahat ng lalaki sa kanyang sambahayan, maging ang aliping ipinanganak doon o binili. 24 Si Abraham ay siyamnapu't siyam na taon na nang tuliin, 25 si Ismael naman ay labingtatlo. 26 Tinuli sila sa parehong araw, 27 at noon ding araw na iyon tinuli ang kanyang mga alipin.

Abraham and the Covenant of Circumcision
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty;[a] walk before me, and be (A)blameless, 2 that I may make my covenant between me and you, and (B)may multiply you greatly.” 3 Then Abram (C)fell on his face. And God said to him, 4 “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be (D)the father of a multitude of nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram,[b] but (E)your name shall be Abraham,[c] (F)for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make (G)you into nations, and (H)kings shall come from you. 7 And I will (I)establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, (J)to be God to you and to your offspring after you. 8 And (K)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 (L)I will be their God.”
9 And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a (M)sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 He who is (N)eight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or (O)bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, 13 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. 14 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.”
Isaac's Birth Promised
15 And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah[d] shall be her name. 16 I will bless her, and moreover, I will (P)give[e] you a son by her. I will bless her, and (Q)she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.” 17 Then Abraham (R)fell on his face (S)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?” 18 And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!” 19 God said, “No, but (T)Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name (U)Isaac.[f] I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him. 20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and (V)multiply him greatly. He (W)shall father twelve princes, and (X)I will make him into a great nation. 21 But (Y)I will establish my covenant with Isaac, (Z)whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.”
22 When he had finished talking with him, (AA)God went up from Abraham. 23 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. 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old 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 That very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised. 27 And all the men of his house, those born in the house and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

The Covenant of Circumcision
17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old,(A) the Lord appeared to him(B) and said, “I am God Almighty[a];(C) walk before me faithfully and be blameless.(D) 2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you(E) and will greatly increase your numbers.”(F)
3 Abram fell facedown,(G) and God said to him, 4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you:(H) You will be the father of many nations.(I) 5 No longer will you be called Abram[b]; your name will be Abraham,[c](J) for I have made you a father of many nations.(K) 6 I will make you very fruitful;(L) I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.(M) 7 I will establish my covenant(N) as an everlasting covenant(O) between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God(P) and the God of your descendants after you.(Q) 8 The whole land of Canaan,(R) where you now reside as a foreigner,(S) I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you;(T) and I will be their God.(U)”
9 Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant,(V) you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.(W) 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.(X) 11 You are to undergo circumcision,(Y) and it will be the sign of the covenant(Z) between me and you. 12 For the generations to come(AA) every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised,(AB) including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised.(AC) My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.(AD) 14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised(AE) in the flesh, will be cut off from his people;(AF) he has broken my covenant.(AG)”
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai(AH) your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.(AI) 16 I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her.(AJ) I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations;(AK) kings of peoples will come from her.”
17 Abraham fell facedown;(AL) he laughed(AM) and said to himself, “Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old?(AN) Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?”(AO) 18 And Abraham said to God, “If only Ishmael(AP) might live under your blessing!”(AQ)
19 Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son,(AR) and you will call him Isaac.[d](AS) I will establish my covenant with him(AT) as an everlasting covenant(AU) for his descendants after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers.(AV) He will be the father of twelve rulers,(AW) and I will make him into a great nation.(AX) 21 But my covenant(AY) I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you(AZ) by this time next year.”(BA) 22 When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.(BB)
23 On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household(BC) or bought with his money, every male in his household, and circumcised them, as God told him.(BD) 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old(BE) when he was circumcised,(BF) 25 and his son Ishmael(BG) was thirteen; 26 Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on that very day. 27 And every male in Abraham’s household(BH), including those born in his household or bought from a foreigner, was circumcised with him.
