When Abram was nynetye yere olde and ix. the LORde apeared to hym sayenge: I am the almyghtie God: walke before me ad be vncorrupte.

2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you greatly."

And I wyll make my bonde betwene the and me and wyll multiplye the excedyngly.

3 Then Abram fell facedown, and God talked with him, saying,

And Abra fell on his face. And God talked moreover with hym saynge:

4 "As for me, look, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

I am beholde my testamet is with the that thou shalt be a father of many natios.

5 Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations.

Therfore shalt thou no more be called Abram but thy name shalbe Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made the

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

and I will multiplye the excedyngly and wyll make nations of the: yee and kynges shall sprynge out of the.

7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.

Moreover I will make my bonde betwene me and the and thy seed after the in their tymes to be an everlastynge testament So that I wyll be God vnto the and to thy seed after the.

8 I will give to you, and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God."

And I will geue vnto the ad to thy seed after the the lande where in thou arte a straunger: Euen all the lande of Canaan for an everlastynge possession and wil be their God.

9 God said to Abraham, "As for you, you are to keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.

And God sayde vnto Abraha: Se thou kepe my testamente both thou and thy seed after the in their tymes:

10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised.

This is my testamente which ye shall kepe betwene me and you and thy seed after the that ye circucyse all youre men childern ye shall circumcyse

11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

the foreskynne of youre flesh ad it shal be a token of the bond betwixte me and you.

12 He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your descendants.

And euery manchilde when it is viij. dayes olde shal be circucysed amonge you in youre generations and all servauntes also borne at home or boughte with money though they be straungers and not of thy seed.

13 He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

The seruaunte borne in thy housse ad he also that is bought with money must needes be circumcysed that my testament may be in youre flesh for an everlastinge bonde.

14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, that person shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."

Yf there be any vncircuncysed manchilde that hath not the forskynne of his flesh cutt of his soule shall perish from his people: because he hath broke my testamet

15 God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.

And God sayde vnto Abraham. Sarai thy wyfe shall nomore be called Sarai: but Sara shall hir name be.

16 And I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. And I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."

For I will blesse her and geue the a sonne of her and will blesse her: so that people ye and kynges of people shall springe of her.

17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"

And Abraham fell vpon his face ad laughte and sayd in his harte: shall a childe be borne vnto hym that is an hundred yere olde ad shall Sara that is nynetie yere olde bere?

18 Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you."

And Abraha sayde vnto God. O that Ismaell myghte lyve in thy syghte.

19 And God said, "Truly, Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. And I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him.

The sayde God: na Sara thy wife shall bere the a sonne ad thou shalt call his name Isaac. And I will make my bonde with him that it shall be an everlastynge bonde vnto his seed after him.

20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Look, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

And as concernynge Ismaell also I haue herde thy request: loo I will blesse him and encrease him and multiplye him excedyingly. Twelve prynces shall be begete and I will make a great nation of him.

21 But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."

But my bonde will I make with Isaac which Sara shall bere vnto the: even this tyme twelue moneth.

22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

And God left of talkynge with him and departed vp from Abraham.

23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.

And Abraham toke Ismaell his sonne and all the servauntes borne in his housse and all that was bought with money as many as were menchildren amonge the me of Abrahas housse and circumcysed the foreskynne of their flesh even the selfe same daye as God had sayde vnto him.

24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

Abraham was nynetie yere olde and. ix. when he cutt of the foreskynne of his flesh.

25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

And Ismaell his sonne was. xiij. yere olde when the foreskynne of hys flesh was circumcysed.

26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

The selfe same daye was Abraha circucised and Ismael his sonne.

27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

And all the men in his housse whether they were borne in his housse or bought wyth money (though they were straungers) were circumcysed with him.
