“Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.”
“No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.”
“Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?””
“So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,”
“And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!””
“On that very day Abraham took his son Ishmael and all those born in his household or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised them, just as God had told him.”
“God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.”
“Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.”
“When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.”
