¹ When Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to him saying, "I am the almighty God: walk before me and be uncorrupt. ² And I will make my covenant between thee and me, and will multiply thee exceedingly." ³ And Abram fell on his face. And God talked moreover with him, saying, ⁴ "I am. Behold, my covenant is with thee, that thou shalt be a father of many nations. ⁵ Therefore shalt thou no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham: for a father of many nations have I made thee, ⁶ and I will multiply thee exceedingly, and will make nations of thee: yea, and kings shall spring out of thee. ⁷ Moreover, I will make my covenant between me, and thee, and thy seed after thee; in their times to be an everlasting testament, so that I will be God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. ⁸ And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger: even all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and will be their God." ⁹ And God said unto Abraham, "See thou keep my covenant, both thou and thy seed after thee in their times. ¹⁰ This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee: that ye circumcise all your men children. ¹¹ Ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. ¹² And every manchild when it is eight days old, shall be circumcised among you in your generations, and all servants also born at home or bought with money, though they be strangers and not of thy seed. ¹³ The servant born in thy house, and he also that is bought with money, must needs be circumcised, that my covenant may be in your flesh, for an everlasting bond. ¹⁴ If there be any uncircumcised manchild, that hath not the foreskin of his flesh cut off, his soul shall perish from his people: because he hath broken my covenant." ¹⁵ And God said unto Abraham, "Sarai, thy wife, shall no more be called Sarai: but Sara shall her name be. ¹⁶ For I will bless her and give thee a son of her; and will bless her so that people, yea and kings of people, shall spring of her." ¹⁷ And Abraham fell upon his face and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? And shall Sara, that is ninety years old, bear?" ¹⁸ And Abraham said unto God, "O that Ishmael might live in thy sight!" ¹⁹ Then said God, "Nay. Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac. And I will make my covenant with him, that it shall be an everlasting covenant unto his seed after him. ²⁰ And as concerning Ishmael also, I have heard thy request: lo, I will bless him and increase him, and multiply him exceedingly. Twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make a great nation of him. ²¹ But my covenant will I make with Isaac, which Sara shall bear unto thee: even this time, twelve month." ²² And God left off talking with him, and departed up from Abraham. ²³ And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants born in his house, and all that was bought with money; as many as were men children among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the foreskin of their flesh, even the selfsame day, as God had said unto him. ²⁴ Abraham was ninety years old and nine when he cut off the foreskin of his flesh. ²⁵ And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when the foreskin of his flesh was circumcised. ²⁶ The selfsame day was Abraham circumcised and Ishmael his son. ²⁷ And all the men in his house, whether they were born in his house or bought with money, though they were strangers, were circumcised with him.

These are the kindreds of Dan in their generations. ⁴³ And all the kindreds of the Shuhamites were in number sixty four thousand and four hundred. ⁴⁴ The children of Asher in their kindreds were: Imnah, of whom cometh the kindred of the Imnites; and Ishvi, of whom cometh the kindred of the Ishvites; and of Beriah cometh the kindred of Beriites. ⁴⁵ And the children of Beriah were Heber, of whom cometh the kindred of the Heberites; and of Malchiel came the kindred of the Malchielites. ⁴⁶ And the daughter of Asher was called Sarah. ⁴⁷ These are the kindreds of Asher, in number fifty three thousand and four hundred. ⁴⁸ The children of Naphtali in their kindreds were: Jahzeel, of whom came the kindred of the Jahzeelites; and Guni, of whom came the kindred of the Gunites; ⁴⁹ and of Jezer, came the kindred of the Jezerites; and of Shillem the kindred of Shillemites. ⁵⁰ These are the kindreds of Naphtali in their generations, in number forty five thousand and four hundred. ⁵¹ These are the numbers of the children of Israel: six hundred thousand, and a thousand seven hundred and thirty. ⁵² And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, ⁵³ "Unto these the land shall be divided to inherit, according to the number of names: ⁵⁴ to many, thou shalt give the more inheritance; and to few, the less. To every tribe shall the inheritance be given according to the number thereof. ⁵⁵ Notwithstanding, the land shall be divided by lot; and according to the names of the tribes of their fathers, they shall inherit: ⁵⁶ and according to their lot thou shalt divide their land, both to the many and to the few." ⁵⁷ These are the sums of the Levites in their kindreds: of Gershon, came the kindred of the Gershonites; and of Kohath came the kindred of the Kohathites; and of Merari came the kindred of the Merarites. ⁵⁸ These are the kindreds of Levi: the kindred of the Libnites, the kindred of the Hebronites, the kindred of the Mahlites, the kindred of the Mushites, the kindred of the Korahites. Kohath begat Amram, ⁵⁹ and Amram's wife was called Jochebed; a daughter of Levi, which was born him in Egypt. And she bare unto Amram, Aaron, Moses and Miriam their sister. ⁶⁰ And unto Aaron were born, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. ⁶¹ But Nadab and Abihu died, as they offered strange fire before the LORD. ⁶² And the number of them was twenty three thousand, of all the males from a month old and above. For they were not numbered among the children of Israel, because there was no inheritance given them among the children of Israel. ⁶³ These are the numbers of the children of Israel which Moses and Eleazar the priest numbered in the fields of Moab, fast by Jordan nigh to Jericho. ⁶⁴ And among these there was not a man of the number of the children of Israel which Moses and Aaron told in the wilderness of Sinai. ⁶⁵ For the LORD said unto them, that they should die in the wilderness and that there should not be left a man of them: save Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness which is by faith: which faith he had, yet being uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe: though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also; ¹² And that he might be the father of the circumcised: not because they are circumcised only: but because they walk also in the steps of that faith, that was in our father Abraham before the time of circumcision. ¹³ For the promise that he should be heir of the world was not given to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law: but through the righteousness which cometh of faith. ¹⁴ For if they which are of the law be heirs, then is faith but vain, and the promise of none effect. ¹⁵ Because the law causeth wrath. For where no law is, there is no transgression. ¹⁶ Therefore by faith is the inheritance given, that it might come of favour: and that the promise might be sure to all the seed. Not to them only which are of the law: but also to them which are of the faith of Abraham, which is the father of us all. ¹⁷ As it is written, "I have made thee a father to many nations," even before God whom thou hast believed, which quickeneth the dead and called those things which be not, as though they were. ¹⁸ Which Abraham, contrary to hope, believed in hope: that he should be the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, "So shall thy seed be."

²⁸ Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs by promise.

¹⁵ And God said unto Abraham, "Sarai, thy wife, shall no more be called Sarai: but Sara shall her name be.

²⁸ And he said, "Thou shalt be called Jacob no more, but Israel. For thou hast wrestled with God and with men and hast prevailed."

¹⁶ These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called the name of Hosea, the son of Nun, Joshua.

²⁵ And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and called his name Jedidiah, of the LORD's behalf.

⁷ Thou art the LORD, the God that hast chosen Abram, and broughtest him out of Ur in Chaldea, and called him Abraham:

² Then shall the Gentiles see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory. Thou shalt be named with a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall show. ³ Thou shalt be a crown in the hand of the LORD, and a glorious garland in the hand of thy God. ⁴ From this time forth thou shalt never be called the forsaken, and thy land shall no more be called the wilderness. But thou shalt be called Hephzibah, that is, my beloved; and thy land Beulah, that is, a married woman: for the LORD loveth thee, and thy land shall be inhabited.

¹⁵ Your name shall not be sworn by among my chosen, for God the LORD shall slay you, and call his servants by another name.

³ The next day following, Pashhur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks again. Then said Jeremiah unto him, "The LORD shall call thee no more Pashhur, that is, excellent and increasing; but Magormissabib, that is, fearful and afraid everywhere.

⁶ In his time shall Judah be saved and Israel shall dwell without fear. And this is the name that they shall call him: even, 'The LORD our righteous maker.'

²¹ She shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus: For he shall save his people from their sins." ²² All this was done, to fulfill that which was spoken of the Lord by the Prophet saying, ²³ "Behold, a maiden shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us."

⁴² And brought him to Jesus. And Jesus beheld him and said, "Thou art Simon the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas," which is by interpretation, a stone.

¹⁷ As it is written, "I have made thee a father to many nations," even before God whom thou hast believed, which quickeneth the dead and called those things which be not, as though they were.

¹⁷ Let him that hath ears hear what the spirit sayth unto the congregations: To him that overcometh will I give to eat Manna that is hid, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth, saving he that receiveth it.'

⁴ "I am. Behold, my covenant is with thee, that thou shalt be a father of many nations.

¹⁶ For I will bless her and give thee a son of her; and will bless her so that people, yea and kings of people, shall spring of her."

²⁰ And as concerning Ishmael also, I have heard thy request: lo, I will bless him and increase him, and multiply him exceedingly. Twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make a great nation of him.

²⁰ There have been mighty kings also at Jerusalem which have reigned over all that is beyond the water, and toll, tribute and a yearly custom was given unto them.

⁶ Jesse begat David the king: David the king begat Solomon of her that was the wife of Uriah: ⁷ Solomon begat Rehoboam; Rehoboam begat Abijah; Abijah begat Asa; ⁸ Asa begat Jehoshaphat; Jehoshaphat begat Joram; Joram begat Uzziah; ⁹ Uzziah begat Jotham; Jotham begat Ahaz; Ahaz begat Hezekiah; ¹⁰ Hezekiah begat Manasseh; Manasseh begat Amon; Amon begat Josiah; ¹¹ Josiah begat Jechoniah and his brethren about the time they were carried away to Babylon. ¹² And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechoniah begat Shealtiel: Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel; ¹³ Zerubbabel begat Abiud; Abiud begat Eliakim; Eliakim begat Azor; ¹⁴ Azor begat Sadoc; Sadoc begat Achim; Achim begat Eliud; ¹⁵ Eliud begat Eleazar; Eleazar begat Matthan; Matthan begat Jacob; ¹⁶ Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born that Jesus, that is called Christ. ¹⁷ All the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; And from David unto the captivity of Babylon are fourteen generations; And from the captivity of Babylon unto Christ are also fourteen generations.

²⁴ And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham thy father. Fear not; for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake."

¹³ Yea, and the LORD stood upon it and said, "I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father and the God of Isaac: The land which thou sleepest upon will I give thee and thy seed.

¹⁵ And God spake further unto Moses, "Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, 'the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you': this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial throughout all generations.

⁴ Moreover, I made an covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan: the land of their pilgrimage wherein they were strangers.

⁵ Now therefore if ye will hear my voice and keep mine covenant: ye shall be mine own above all nations, for all the earth is mine. ⁶ Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy people.' These are the words which thou shalt say unto the children of Israel."

¹² And I will walk among you and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

¹⁰ I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt; open thy mouth wide, and I shall fill it.

²⁶ They shall dwell safely therein, build houses, and plant vineyards. Yea, safely shall they dwell therein, when I have punished all those that despise them round about: and then shall they know that I am the LORD their God.

²⁰ Thou shalt keep thy trust with Jacob, and thy mercy for Abraham, like as thou hast sworn unto our fathers long ago.

³² 'I am Abraham's God, and Isaac's God, and the God of Jacob?' God is not the God of the dead: but of the living."

¹⁴ When Jesus saw that, he was displeased, and said to them, "Suffer the children to come unto me and forbid them not. For of such is the kingdom of God.

⁵⁴ He remembereth mercy: and helpeth his servant Israel. ⁵⁵ Even as he promised to our fathers, Abraham and to his seed forever."

⁷² To fulfill the mercy promised to our fathers; And to remember his holy covenant; ⁷³ And to perform the oath, which he sware to our father Abraham, for to give us. ⁷⁴ That we, delivered out of the hands of our enemies, might serve him without fear: ⁷⁵ all the days of our life, in such holiness and righteousness that are accept before him.

³⁹ "For the promise was made unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar, even as many as the Lord God shall call."

⁴ Which are the Israelites, to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants and the law that was given and the service of God, and the promises,

⁷ Neither are they all children straightway because they are the seed of Abraham: But in Isaac shall thy seed be called, ⁸ that is to say; They which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God. But the children of promise are counted the seed. ⁹ For this is a word of promise, "About this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son."

¹⁶ To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, "in the seeds," as in many: But, "in thy seed," as in one, which is Christ. ¹⁷ This I say, that the law which began afterward, beyond four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul the testament, that was confirmed afore of God unto Christ ward, to make the promise of none effect.

² in the which, in time past, ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the governor that ruleth in the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of unbelief,

¹⁰ For this is the testament that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws in their minds, and in their hearts, I will write them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

¹⁶ But now they desire a better, that is to say a heavenly. Wherefore God is not ashamed of them, even to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

¹⁵ for all the land which thou seest will I give unto thee and to thy seed for ever.

¹⁷ Arise, and walk about in the land, in the length of it and in the breadth, for I will give it unto thee."

⁷ And he said unto him, "I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur in Chaldea to give thee this land to possess it." ⁸ And he said, "LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall possess it?" ⁹ And he said unto him, "Take a heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a three year old ram, a turtle dove and a young pigeon." ¹⁰ And he took all these and divided them in the midst, and laid every piece, one over against another. But the fowls divided he not. ¹¹ And the birds fell on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away. ¹² And when the sun was down, there fell a slumber upon Abram. And lo, fear and great darkness came upon him. ¹³ And he said unto Abram, "Know this of a surety, that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that pertaineth not unto them. And they shall make bondmen of them and entreat them evil, four hundred years. ¹⁴ But the nation whom they shall serve, will I judge. And afterward shall they come out with great substance. ¹⁵ Nevertheless, thou shalt go unto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried when thou art of a good age: ¹⁶ and in the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for the wickedness of the Amorites is not yet full." ¹⁷ When the sun was down and it was waxed dark, behold, there was a smoking furnace and a fire brand that went between the said pieces. ¹⁸ And that same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "Unto thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt, even unto the great river Euphrates: ¹⁹ the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, ²⁰ the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Giants, ²¹ the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites."

⁴ "I am a stranger and a foreigner among you; give me a possession to bury in with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight."

⁴ and give thee the blessing of Abraham: both to thee and to thy seed with thee, that thou mayest possess the land — wherein thou art a stranger — which God gave unto Abraham."

⁴ and said unto me, "Behold, I will make thee grow and will multiply thee, and will make a great number of people of thee, and will give this land unto thee, and unto thy seed after thee, unto an everlasting possession.

⁷ And I will take you for my people and will be to you a God. And ye shall know that I am the LORD your God which brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

⁶ Then let his master bring him unto the judges and set him to the door or the doorpost, and bore his ear through with an awl, and let him be his servant forever.

¹⁶ Wherefore let the children of Israel keep the Sabbath, that they observe it throughout their generations, that it be an covenant forever. ¹⁷ For it shall be a sign between me, and the children of Israel for ever. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.'"

¹⁵ that their anointing may be an everlasting priesthood unto them throughout their generations."

³⁴ And this shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year." And it was done even as the LORD commanded Moses.

¹³ and he shall have it and his seed after him, even the covenant of the priest's office forever, because he was jealous for his God's sake and made an atonement for the children of Israel.'"

³⁷ And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them and brought thee out with his presence and with his mighty power of Egypt:

² For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a several people unto himself, of all the nations that are upon the earth.

¹⁸ And the LORD hath set thee up this day, to be a several people unto him — as he hath promised thee — and that thou keep his commandments,

¹³ For to make thee a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

⁸ When the most highest gave the nations an inheritance, and divided the sons of Adam, he put the borders of the nations fast by the multitude of the children of Israel.

⁵ And is not mine house so with God? In that he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, perfect in all points. And in that he shall fulfill all that is healthsome unto me, and all my desires thereto;

¹⁷ But the merciful goodness of the LORD endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear him, and his righteousness upon their children's children;

⁹ even the covenant that he made with Abraham, and the oath that he sware unto Isaac,

¹¹ saying, "Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance."

¹⁵ And for this cause is he the mediator of the new testament, that through death which chanced for the redemption of those transgressions that were in the first testament, they which were called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

¹⁰ All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹⁸ even upon such as keep his covenant, and think upon his commandments to do them.

⁴ For thus sayeth the LORD, first unto the gelded that keepeth my Sabbath - namely, that holdeth greatly of the thing that pleaseth me, and keepeth my covenant - ⁵ Unto them will I give in my household and within my walls, a better heritage and name than if they had been called sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name that shall not perish.

¹¹ Ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

¹⁵ Only in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that all the men children among you be circumcised,

²⁵ Then Zipporah took a stone and circumcised her son, and fell at his feet, and said, "A bloody husband art thou unto me."

⁴⁸ If a stranger dwell among you, and will hold Passover unto the LORD, let him circumcise all that be males, and then let him come and observe it, and be taken as one that is born in the land. No uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

¹⁶ Circumcise, therefore, the foreskin of your hearts, and be no longer stiff-necked.

⁶ And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart and the heart of thy seed for to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart and all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

² That same time the LORD said unto Joshua, "Make thee knives of stone, and go to again and circumcise the children of Israel the second time."

⁴ And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised. All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all that were men of war, died in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt.

⁴ Be circumcised in the LORD, and cut away the foreskins of your heart, all ye of Judah, and all the indwellers of Jerusalem: that my indignation break not out like fire, and kindle so that no man may quench it, because of the wickedness of your imaginations."

²⁵ "Behold, the time cometh," sayeth the LORD, "that I will visit all them whose foreskin is uncircumcised. ²⁶ The Egyptians, the Jews, the Edomites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, and the shaven Midianites that dwell in the wilderness. For all the Gentiles are uncircumcised in the flesh, but all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart."

²² Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision: not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers. And yet ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.

⁸ And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and he begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.

²⁸ For he is not a Jew, which is a Jew outward. Neither is that thing circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

²⁵ — whom God hath set forth for a mercy seat through faith in his blood, to show the righteousness which before him is of valour, in that he forgiveth the sins that are passed,

²⁸ We suppose, therefore we hold, that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

³⁰ For it is God only which justifieth circumcision, which is of faith: and uncircumcision through faith.

⁹ Came this blessedness then upon the circumcised or upon the uncircumcised? We say verily how that faith was reckoned to Abraham, for righteousness. ¹⁰ How was it reckoned? In the time of circumcision? Or in the time before he was circumcised? Not in time of circumcision: but when he was yet uncircumcised. ¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness which is by faith: which faith he had, yet being uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe: though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also;

¹⁸ If any man be called being circumcised, let him add nothing thereto. If any be called uncircumcised: let him not be circumcised. ¹⁹ Circumcision is nothing, uncircumcision is nothing: but the keeping of the commandments of God is altogether.

²⁸ Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus.

³ I testify again to every man which is circumcised that he is bound to keep the whole law. ⁴ Ye are gone quite from Christ as many as are justified by the law, and are fallen from grace. ⁵ We look for, and hope in the spirit, to be justified through faith. ⁶ For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

¹² As many as desire with outward appearance to please carnally, they constrain you to be circumcised, only because they would not suffer persecution with the cross of Christ.

¹¹ Wherefore, remember that ye, being in time past gentiles in the flesh, and were called "uncircumcision" to them which are called "circumcision" in the flesh — which circumcision is made by hands -

³ For we are circumcision which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

¹¹ In whom also ye are circumcised with circumcision made without hands, by putting off the sinful body of the flesh, through the circumcision that is in Christ, ¹² in that ye are buried with him through baptism, in whom ye are also risen again through faith, that is wrought by the operation of God which raised him from death.

³ And Joshua made him knives of stone and circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of foreskins.

²⁵ Then said Saul, "This wise say to David: 'The king careth for no other dowry but for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies." For Saul thought to make David fall into the hands of the Philistines. ²⁶ Then his servants told David these words, and it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. ²⁷ And shortly after that, David arose with his men, and went, and slew of the Philistines, two hundred men; and brought their foreskins, and satisfied the king thereof to be his son-in-law. And so Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

¹⁴ And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son saying, "Deliver me my wife Michal which I married with a hundred foreskins of the Philistines."

¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness which is by faith: which faith he had, yet being uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe: though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also;

²³ And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants born in his house, and all that was bought with money; as many as were men children among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the foreskin of their flesh, even the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

⁴ and Abraham circumcised Isaac his son when he was eight days old, as God commanded him.

⁴⁸ If a stranger dwell among you, and will hold Passover unto the LORD, let him circumcise all that be males, and then let him come and observe it, and be taken as one that is born in the land. No uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. ⁴⁹ One manner of law shall be unto them that are born in the land, and unto the strangers that dwell among you."

³ And in the eighth day the flesh of the child's foreskin shall be cut away.

⁵⁹ And it fortuned, the eighth day they came to circumcise the child: and called his name Zacharias after the name of his father,

²¹ And when the eighth day was come that the child should be circumcised, his name was called Jesus, which was named of the angel before he was conceived in the mother's womb.

²² Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision: not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers. And yet ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man. ²³ If a man on the Sabbath day receive circumcision without breaking of the law of Moses: Disdain ye at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day?

²⁸ For he is not a Jew, which is a Jew outward. Neither is that thing circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the kindred of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew born of the Hebrews; as concerning the law, a Pharisee,

¹⁴ When Abram heard that his brother was taken, he harnessed his servants born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and followed till they came at Dan.

³ And Abram said, "See, to me hast thou given no seed: lo, a lad born in my house shall be mine heir!"

²⁷ Come on, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hands be defiled upon him: for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brethren were content.

³⁶ And the Midianites sold him in Egypt unto Potiphar, a lord of Pharaoh's: and his chief marshal.

¹ Joseph was brought unto Egypt, and Potiphar — a lord of Pharaoh's, and his chief marshal, an Egyptian — bought him of the Ishmaelites which brought him thither.

⁴⁴ but all the servants that are bought for money shall ye circumcise, and then let them eat thereof.

² If thou buy a servant that is an Hebrew, sixth years he shall serve, and the seventh he shall go out free paying nothing.

⁴ And if his master have given him a wife and she have borne him sons or daughters: then the wife and her children shall be her master's and he shall go out alone.

¹⁶ "He that stealeth a man and selleth him, if it be proved upon him, shall be slain for it.

⁵ Now are our brethrens' bodies as our own bodies and their children as our children: else should we subdue our sons and daughters into bondage, and some of our daughters are subdued already, and no strength is there in our hands, and other men shall have our lands and vineyards."

⁸ and said unto them, "We, after our ability, have bought our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the Heathen. And will ye sell your brethren, whom we have bought unto us?" Then held they their peace, and could find nothing to answer.

²⁵ Whom, because he had nought to pay, his Master commanded him to be sold: and his wife, and his children, and all that he had; and payment to be made.

²⁴ And it chanced by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him and would have killed him. ²⁵ Then Zipporah took a stone and circumcised her son, and fell at his feet, and said, "A bloody husband art thou unto me." ²⁶ And he let him go. She said 'a bloody husband' because of the circumcision.

¹⁵ Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread, so that even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be plucked out from Israel.

¹⁹ Seven days see that there be no leavened bread found in your houses. For whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be rooted out from the multitude of Israel: whether he be a stranger or born in the land.

³³ Whosoever maketh like that, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall perish from among his people.'"

³⁸ And whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall perish from among his people."

²⁰ If any soul eat of the flesh of the peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, and his uncleanness yet upon him, the same soul shall perish from among his people. ²¹ Moreover if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be the uncleanness of man or of any unclean beast or any abomination that is unclean: and then eat of the flesh of the peace offerings which pertain unto the LORD, that soul shall perish from his people.'"

²⁵ For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast of which men bring an offering unto the LORD, that soul that eateth it shall perish from his people.

²⁷ Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood the same soul shall perish from his people.'"

²⁹ For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, the same souls that commit them shall perish from among their people.

⁸ And he that eateth it shall bear his sin, because he hath defiled the hallowed things of the LORD, and that soul shall perish from among his people.

³⁰ "'And the soul that doth ought presumptuously, whether he be an Israelite or a stranger, the same hath despised the LORD. And that soul shall be destroyed from among his people, ³¹ because he hath despised the word of the LORD and hath broken his commandments, that soul therefore shall perish and his sin shall be upon him.'"

² That same time the LORD said unto Joshua, "Make thee knives of stone, and go to again and circumcise the children of Israel the second time." ³ And Joshua made him knives of stone and circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of foreskins. ⁴ And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised. All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all that were men of war, died in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt. ⁵ Now all the people that came out were circumcised. But all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt, they circumcised not. ⁶ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people of men of war that came out of Egypt were consumed, which hearkened not unto the voice of God; so that the LORD sware, that he would not show them the land which the LORD sware unto their fathers, that he would give us even a land that floweth with milk and honey. ⁷ And their children he set up in their stead. Them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the way. ⁸ And when all the people were full circumcised, they abode still in their places in the host till they were whole. ⁹ And the LORD said unto Joshua, "This day I have taken away the shame of Egypt from you": and called the name of the same place Gilgal unto this day. ¹⁰ And the children of Israel pitched their tents in Gilgal, and held the feast of Passover the fourteenth day of the month, at even, in the fields of Jericho. ¹¹ And they ate of the corn of the land on the morrow after Passover, sweet cakes and parched corn in the selfsame day. ¹² And Manna ceased on the morrow, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, neither had the children of Israel Manna any more, but did eat of the fruits of the land of Canaan that year.

²⁰ Yea, they lay hands upon such as be at peace with him, and so they break his covenant.

⁵ For the earth is corrupt of her indwellers. For why? They have offended the law, changed the ordinances, and broken the everlasting covenant.

⁸ The streets are waste, there walketh no man therein; the covenant is broken, the cities are despised; they are not regarded,

¹⁰ They have turned themselves to the blasphemies of their forefathers, which had no lust to hear my word. Even likewise have these also followed strange gods, and worshiped them. The houses of Israel and Judah have broken my covenant, which I made with their fathers.

³² not after the covenant that I made with their fathers, when I took them by the hand, and led them out of the land of Egypt: which covenant they brake, wherefore I punished them sore, sayeth the LORD:

²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat of this bread, or drink of the cup unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

²⁹ For he that eateth or drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh his own damnation, because he maketh no difference of the Lord's body.

⁵ Therefore shalt thou no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham: for a father of many nations have I made thee,

²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Grow and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over all the beasts that move on the earth.

⁶ and I will multiply thee exceedingly, and will make nations of thee: yea, and kings shall spring out of thee.

¹⁰ And he said, "I will come again unto thee as soon as the fruit can live. And lo, Sara thy wife shall have a son." That heard Sara, out of the tent door which was behind his back. ¹¹ Abraham and Sara were both old and well stricken in age, and it ceased to be with Sara after the manner as it is with wives. ¹² And Sara laughed in herself saying, "Now I am waxed old, shall I give myself to lust, and my lord old also?" ¹³ Then said the LORD unto Abraham, "Wherefore doth Sara laugh saying, 'shall I of a surety bear a child, now when I am old?' ¹⁴ Is the thing too hard for the LORD to do? In the time appointed will I return unto thee, as soon as the fruit can have life. And Sara shall have a son."

⁶⁰ And they blessed Rebekah and said unto her, "Thou art our sister, grow into thousand thousands, and thy seed possess the gates of their enemies."

²³ For kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and Queens shall be thy nursing mothers. They shall fall before thee with their faces flat upon the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet: that thou mayest know, how that I am the LORD. And who so putteth his trust in me, shall not be confounded.

⁹ For this is a word of promise, "About this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son."

²⁶ But Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is the mother of us all. ²⁷ For it is written, "Rejoice thou barren, that bearest no children: break forth and cry, thou that travailest not. For the desolate hath many more children, than she which hath a husband." ²⁸ Brethren, we are, after the manner of Isaac, children of promise: ²⁹ But as then he that was born carnally, persecuted him that was born spiritually; Even so is it now. ³⁰ Nevertheless, what saith the scripture? "Put away the bondwoman and her son. For the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman." ³¹ So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman: but of the freewoman.

⁶ even as Sara obeyed Abraham and called him "Lord" — whose daughters ye are as long as ye do well, not being afraid of every shadow.

³ And Abram fell on his face. And God talked moreover with him, saying,

¹² And Sara laughed in herself saying, "Now I am waxed old, shall I give myself to lust, and my lord old also?"

⁶ And Sara said, "God hath made me a laughingstock: for all that hear, will laugh at me."

²⁴ And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar: the burnt offering and the fat. And all the people saw it and shouted, and fell on their faces.

¹⁸ And I fell before the LORD, even as at the first time — forty days and nights, and neither ate bread nor drank water — over all your sins which ye had sinned in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD and in provoking him.

²⁵ And I fell before the LORD, forty days and forty nights which I lay there, for the LORD was minded to have destroyed you.

⁶ And Joshua rent his clothes and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, both he and the elders of Israel; and put earth upon their heads.

¹⁶ And David lifted up his eyes and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and heaven with a drawn sword in his hand stretched out toward Jerusalem. Then fell David and the elders of Israel, clothed in sack, upon their faces.

²⁰ Then Job stood up, and rent his clothes, shaved his head, fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

¹⁷ So he came, and stood by me. But I was afraid at his coming, and fell down upon my face. Then said he unto me, "O thou son of man, mark well, for in the last time shall this vision be fulfilled."

¹¹ and went into the house, and found the child with Mary his mother, and knelt down, and worshipped him: and opened their treasures, and offered unto him gifts; gold, frankincense and myrrh.

⁵⁶ Your father Abraham was glad to see my day, and he saw it and rejoiced."

¹⁹ And he fainted not in the faith, nor yet considered his own body, which was now dead, even when he was almost a hundred years old: neither yet that Sara was past childbearing. ²⁰ He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief: But was made strong in the faith, and gave honour to God,

⁸ And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and twenty four elders fell down before the lamb, having harps and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints,

¹⁶ And the twenty four elders, which sit before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

¹² For when thou tillest the ground she shall henceforth not give her power unto thee. A vagabond and a renegade shalt thou be upon the earth."

¹⁴ Behold, thou castest me out this day from off the face of the earth, and from thy sight must I hide myself, and I must be a vagabond and a renegade upon the earth: Moreover whosoever findeth me, will kill me."

⁶ There be many that say, "Who will show us any good? LORD lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us."

¹² Thou hast upholden me because of my innocency, and set me before thy face forever.

² But your misdeeds have separated you from your God, and your sins hide his face from you, that he heareth you not.

³⁹ And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all the days of their life, that they and their children after them may prosper.

²¹ But my covenant will I make with Isaac, which Sara shall bear unto thee: even this time, twelve month."

² And Sara was with child and bare Abraham a son in his old age, even the same season which the LORD had appointed. ³ And Abraham called his son's name that was born unto him, which Sara bare him, Isaac:

³ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father,

¹⁶ Then he said, "By such a time, as soon as the fruit can live, thou shalt embrace a son." And she said, "Oh nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto the handmaid." ¹⁷ And the wife conceived and bare a son the same season that Elisha had said unto her, "As soon as the fruit could have life."

¹³ And the angel said unto him, "Fear not Zacharias, for thy prayer is heard: And thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John: ¹⁴ And thou shalt have joy and gladness: And many shall rejoice at his birth. ¹⁵ For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall neither drink wine nor strong drink. And he shall be filled with the holy ghost, even in his mother's womb: ¹⁶ and many of the children of Israel shall he turn to their Lord God. ¹⁷ And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the unbelievers to the wisdom of the just men: to make the people ready for the Lord." ¹⁸ And Zacharias said unto the angel, "Whereby shall I know this? Seeing that I am old, and my wife well stricken in years." ¹⁹ And the angel answered, and said unto him, "I am Gabriel that stand in the presence of God, and am sent to speak unto thee: and to show thee these glad tidings. ²⁰ And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak until the time that these things be performed, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season."

⁶ I speak not these things as though the words of God had taken none effect. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel;

¹⁰ And the angel of the LORD said unto her, "I will so increase thy seed, that it shall not be numbered for multitude." ¹¹ And the LORD's angel said further unto her, "See, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael: because the LORD hath heard thy tribulation. ¹² He will be a wild man, and his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him. And yet shall he dwell fast by all his brethren."

¹³ Moreover of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed."

¹⁸ Arise and lift up the lad, and take him in thy hand, for I will make of him a great people."

¹⁰ And he said, "I will come again unto thee as soon as the fruit can live. And lo, Sara thy wife shall have a son." That heard Sara, out of the tent door which was behind his back.

¹⁰ Then she said unto Abraham, "Put away this bondmaid and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son Isaac." ¹¹ But the word seemed very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son. ¹² Then the LORD said unto Abraham, "Let it not be grievous unto thee, because of the lad and of thy bondmaid: But in all that Sara hath said unto thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

² Then the LORD appeared unto him and said, "Go not down into Egypt, but bide in the land which I say unto thee: ³ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee: for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all these countries. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham thy father, ⁴ and will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries. And through thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, ⁵ because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice and kept mine ordinances, commandments, statutes and laws."

¹ Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came unto Beersheba and offered offerings unto the God of his father Isaac.

²⁴ And their complaint came up unto God from the labour. And God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

¹³ O that thou wouldest keep me, and hide me in the hell, until thy wrath were stilled: and to appoint me a time, wherein thou mightest remember me.

⁵⁵ Even as he promised to our fathers, Abraham and to his seed forever."

⁷² To fulfill the mercy promised to our fathers; And to remember his holy covenant;

⁷ And he said unto them, "It is not for you to know the times, or the seasons which the father hath put in his own power:

⁵ whose also are the fathers, and they of whom; as concerning the flesh; Christ came: which is God over all things, blessed forever. Amen. ⁶ I speak not these things as though the words of God had taken none effect. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel;

²⁹ If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs by promise.

⁹ By faith he removed into the land that was promised him, as into a strange country, and dwelt in tabernacles: and so did Isaac, and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

³³ And the LORD went his way as soon as he had left communing with Abraham. And Abraham returned unto his place.

⁹ And God appeared unto Jacob again after he came out of Mesopotamia, and blessed him, ¹⁰ and said unto him, "Thy name is Jacob. Notwithstanding thou shalt be no more called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name." And so was his name called Israel. ¹¹ And God said unto him, "I am God almighty: grow and multiply; for people and a multitude of people shall spring of thee, yea and kings shall come out of thy loins. ¹² And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, will I give unto thee, and unto thy seed after thee will I give it also." ¹³ And God departed from him in the place where he talked with him. ¹⁴ And Jacob set up a mark in the place where he talked with him; even a pillar of stone, and poured drink offering thereon and poured also oil thereon, ¹⁵ and called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.

²² And the LORD said unto Moses, "Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, 'Ye have seen how that I have talked with you from out of heaven.

⁶ And he said, "Hear my words. If there be a prophet of the LORD's among you, I will show myself unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. ⁷ But my servant Moses is not so, which is faithful in all mine house. ⁸ Unto him I speak mouth to mouth and he seeth the sight and the fashion of the LORD, and not through riddles. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?"

⁴ The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the fire.

²¹ Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand and touched the flesh and the cakes. And there arose up fire out of the rock and consumed the flesh and the cakes. And the angel of the LORD vanished out of his sight.

¹⁸ No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten son, which is in the father's bosom, hath declared him.

³⁰ And I and my father are one."

¹⁰ This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee: that ye circumcise all your men children. ¹¹ Ye shall circumcise the foreskin of your flesh, and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. ¹² And every manchild when it is eight days old, shall be circumcised among you in your generations, and all servants also born at home or bought with money, though they be strangers and not of thy seed. ¹³ The servant born in thy house, and he also that is bought with money, must needs be circumcised, that my covenant may be in your flesh, for an everlasting bond. ¹⁴ If there be any uncircumcised manchild, that hath not the foreskin of his flesh cut off, his soul shall perish from his people: because he hath broken my covenant."

²⁶ The selfsame day was Abraham circumcised and Ishmael his son. ²⁷ And all the men in his house, whether they were born in his house or bought with money, though they were strangers, were circumcised with him.

¹⁹ For I know him that he will command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do after right and conscience, that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that he hath promised him."

²⁴ And unto Hamor and Shechem his son hearkened all that went out at the gate of his city. And all the men children were circumcised, whatsoever went out at the gates of his city.

² That same time the LORD said unto Joshua, "Make thee knives of stone, and go to again and circumcise the children of Israel the second time." ³ And Joshua made him knives of stone and circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of foreskins. ⁴ And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised. All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all that were men of war, died in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt. ⁵ Now all the people that came out were circumcised. But all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt, they circumcised not. ⁶ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people of men of war that came out of Egypt were consumed, which hearkened not unto the voice of God; so that the LORD sware, that he would not show them the land which the LORD sware unto their fathers, that he would give us even a land that floweth with milk and honey. ⁷ And their children he set up in their stead. Them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the way. ⁸ And when all the people were full circumcised, they abode still in their places in the host till they were whole. ⁹ And the LORD said unto Joshua, "This day I have taken away the shame of Egypt from you": and called the name of the same place Gilgal unto this day.

⁶⁰ I make haste, and prolong not the time, to keep thy commandments.

¹ Make not thy boast of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what may happen today.

¹⁰ Whatsoever thou takest in hand to do, that do with all thy power: for among the dead, where thou goest unto, there is neither work, counsel, knowledge nor wisdom.

³ The same, Paul would that he should go forth with him, and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters, for they knew all that his father was a Greek.

²⁵ Circumcision verily availeth if thou keep the law: But if thou break the law thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. ²⁶ Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the right things contained in the law: shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? ²⁷ And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it keep the law, judge thee, which being under the letter and circumcision, dost transgress the law? ²⁸ For he is not a Jew, which is a Jew outward. Neither is that thing circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: ²⁹ But he is a Jew which is hid within, and the circumcision of the heart is the true circumcision, which is in the spirit, and not in the letter: whose praise is not of men but of God.

⁹ Came this blessedness then upon the circumcised or upon the uncircumcised? We say verily how that faith was reckoned to Abraham, for righteousness. ¹⁰ How was it reckoned? In the time of circumcision? Or in the time before he was circumcised? Not in time of circumcision: but when he was yet uncircumcised. ¹¹ And he received the sign of circumcision, as a seal of the righteousness which is by faith: which faith he had, yet being uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe: though they be not circumcised, that righteousness might be imputed to them also; ¹² And that he might be the father of the circumcised: not because they are circumcised only: but because they walk also in the steps of that faith, that was in our father Abraham before the time of circumcision.

⁶ For in Jesus Christ, neither is circumcision anything worth, neither yet uncircumcision: but faith, which by love is mighty in operation.

¹⁵ For in Christ Jesus nether circumcision availeth any thing at all nor uncircumcision: but a new creature.

⁴ And Abram went as the LORD bade him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy five years old, when he went out of Haran.

¹ When Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to him saying, "I am the almighty God: walk before me and be uncorrupt.

³ Then Abraham rose up early in the morning and saddled his ass, and took two of his men with him, and Isaac his son: and clove wood for the sacrifice, and rose up and got him to the place which God had appointed him. ⁴ The third day Abraham lift up his eyes and saw the place afar off,
