Genesis 17 (WEBP)
[1] When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.
[2] I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
[3] Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,
[4] “As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.
[5] Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
[6] I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
[7] I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.
[8] I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”
[9] 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 foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.
[12] He who is eight days old shall 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 offspring.
[13] He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
[14] The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”
[15] God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.
[16] I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from 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?”
[18] Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”
[19] God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac.° I will establish my covenant with him for 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 will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
[21] But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”
[22] When he finished talking with him, God went up 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.
[24] Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
[25] Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
[26] In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.
[27] All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
Genesis 17:19 Isaac means “he laughs”.

Genesis 17 (KJVS)
[1] And when Abram H87 was ninety H8673 H8141 years H8141 old H1121 and nine H8672, the LORD H3068 appeared H7200 (8735) to Abram H87, and said H559 (8799) unto him, I [am] the Almighty H7706 God H410; walk H1980 (8690) before me H6440, and be thou perfect H8549.
[2] And I will make H5414 (8799) my covenant H1285 between me and thee, and will multiply H7235 (8686) thee exceedingly H3966 H3966.
[3] And Abram H87 fell H5307 (8799) on his face H6440: and God H430 talked H1696 (8762) with him, saying H559 (8800),
[4] As for me H589, behold, my covenant H1285 [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father H1 of many H1995 nations H1471.
[5] Neither shall thy name H8034 any more be called H7121 (8735) Abram H87, but thy name H8034 shall be Abraham H85; for a father H1 of many H1995 nations H1471 have I made thee H5414 (8804).
[6] And I will make H6509 thee exceeding H3966 H3966 fruitful H6509 (8689), and I will make H5414 (8804) nations H1471 of thee, and kings H4428 shall come out H3318 (8799) of thee.
[7] And I will establish H6965 (8689) my covenant H1285 between me and thee and thy seed H2233 after thee H310 in their generations H1755 for an everlasting H5769 covenant H1285, to be a God H430 unto thee, and to thy seed H2233 after thee H310.
[8] And I will give H5414 (8804) unto thee, and to thy seed H2233 after thee H310, the land H776 wherein thou art a stranger H4033, all the land H776 of Canaan H3667, for an everlasting H5769 possession H272; and I will be their God H430.
[9] And God H430 said H559 (8799) unto Abraham H85, Thou shalt keep H8104 (8799) my covenant H1285 therefore, thou, and thy seed H2233 after thee H310 in their generations H1755.
[10] This [is] my covenant H1285, which ye shall keep H8104 (8799), between me and you and thy seed H2233 after thee H310; Every man child H2145 among you shall be circumcised H4135 (8736).
[11] And ye shall circumcise H5243 (8804) the flesh H1320 of your foreskin H6190; and it shall be a token H226 of the covenant H1285 betwixt me and you.
[12] And he that is eight H8083 days H3117 old H1121 shall be circumcised H4135 (8735) among you, every man child H2145 in your generations H1755, he that is born H3211 in the house H1004, or bought H4736 with money H3701 of any stranger H1121 H5236, which [is] not of thy seed H2233.
[13] He that is born H3211 in thy house H1004, and he that is bought H4736 with thy money H3701, must needs H4135 (8736) be circumcised H4135 (8735): and my covenant H1285 shall be in your flesh H1320 for an everlasting H5769 covenant H1285.
[14] And the uncircumcised H6189 man child H2145 whose H834 flesh H1320 of his foreskin H6190 is not circumcised H4135 (8735), that soul H5315 shall be cut off H3772 (8738) from his people H5971; he hath broken H6565 (8689) my covenant H1285.
[15] And God H430 said H559 (8799) unto Abraham H85, As for Sarai H8297 thy wife H802, thou shalt not call H7121 (8799) her name H8034 Sarai H8297, but H3588 Sarah H8283 [shall] her name H8034 [be].
[16] And I will bless H1288 (8765) her, and give H5414 (8804) thee a son H1121 also of her: yea, I will bless H1288 (8765) her, and she shall be [a mother] of nations H1471; kings H4428 of people H5971 shall be of her.
[17] Then Abraham H85 fell H5307 (8799) upon his face H6440, and laughed H6711 (8799), and said H559 (8799) in his heart H3820, Shall [a child] be born H3205 (8735) unto him that is an hundred H3967 years H8141 old H1121? and shall Sarah H8283, that is ninety H8673 years H8141 old H1323, bear H3205 (8799)?
[18] And Abraham H85 said H559 (8799) unto God H430, O that H3863 Ishmael H3458 might live H2421 (8799) before thee H6440!
[19] And God H430 said H559 (8799), Sarah H8283 thy wife H802 shall bear H3205 (8802) thee a son H1121 indeed H61; and thou shalt call H7121 (8804) his name H8034 Isaac H3327: and I will establish H6965 (8689) my covenant H1285 with him for an everlasting H5769 covenant H1285, [and] with his seed H2233 after him H310.
[20] And as for Ishmael H3458, I have heard thee H8085 (8804): Behold, I have blessed H1288 (8765) him, and will make him fruitful H6509 (8689), and will multiply H7235 (8689) him exceedingly H3966 H3966; twelve H6240 H8147 princes H5387 shall he beget H3205 (8686), and I will make him H5414 (8804) a great H1419 nation H1471.
[21] But my covenant H1285 will I establish H6965 (8686) with Isaac H3327, which Sarah H8283 shall bear H3205 (8799) unto thee at this set time H4150 in the next H312 year H8141.
[22] And he left off H3615 (8762) talking H1696 (8763) with him, and God H430 went up H5927 (8799) from Abraham H85.
[23] And Abraham H85 took H3947 (8799) Ishmael H3458 his son H1121, and all that were born H3211 in his house H1004, and all that were bought H4736 with his money H3701, every male H2145 among the men H582 of Abraham’s H85 house H1004; and circumcised H4135 (8799) the flesh H1320 of their foreskin H6190 in the selfsame H6106 day H3117, as God H430 had said H1696 (8765) unto him.
[24] And Abraham H85 [was] ninety H8673 years H8141 old H1121 and nine H8672, when he was circumcised H4135 (8736) in the flesh H1320 of his foreskin H6190.
[25] And Ishmael H3458 his son H1121 [was] thirteen H6240 H7969 years H8141 old H1121, when he was circumcised H4135 (8736) in the flesh H1320 of his foreskin H6190.
[26] In the selfsame H6106 day H3117 was Abraham H85 circumcised H4135 (8738), and Ishmael H3458 his son H1121.
[27] And all the men H582 of his house H1004, born H3211 in the house H1004, and bought H4736 with money H3701 of the stranger H1121 H5236, were circumcised H4135 (8738) with him.
Young’s Literal Translation
Genesis 17 (YLT)
[1] And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, ‘I am God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;
[2] and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.’
[3] And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,
[4] ‘I-lo, My covenant is with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;
[5] and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;
[6] and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.
[7] ‘And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;
[8] and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.’
[9] And God saith unto Abraham, ‘And thou dost keep My covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations;
[10] this is My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you is to be circumcised;
[11] and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you.
[12] ‘And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed;
[13] he is certainly circumcised who is born in thine house, or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant age-during;
[14] and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off from his people; My covenant he hath broken.’
[15] And God saith unto Abraham, ‘Sarai thy wife-thou dost not call her name Sarai, for Sarah is her name;
[16] and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become nations-kings of peoples are from her.’
[17] And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith in his heart, ‘To the son of an hundred years is one born? or doth Sarah-daughter of ninety years-bear?’
[18] And Abraham saith unto God, ‘O that Ishmael may live before Thee;’
[19] and God saith, ‘Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.
[20] As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him, and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly; twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a great nation;
[21] and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;’
[22] and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from Abraham.
[23] And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in his house, and all those bought with his money-every male among the men of Abraham’s house-and circumciseth the flesh of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken with him.
[24] And Abraham is a son of ninety and nine years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
[25] and Ishmael his son is a son of thirteen years in the flesh of his foreskin being circumcised;
[26] in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and Ishmael his son;
[27] and all the men of his house-born in the house, and bought with money from the son of a stranger-have been circumcised with him.
