LXX
ΕΓΕΝΕΤΟ δὲ ¨Αβραμ ἐτῶν ἐνενηκονταεννέα, καὶ ὤφθη Κύριος τῷ ¨Αβραμ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεός σου· εὐαρέστει ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ καὶ γίνου ἄμεμπτος,
BSB
BSB:
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.
2
LXX
καὶ θήσομαι τὴν διαθήκην μου ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ πληθυνῶ σε σφόδρα.
BSB
BSB:
I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”
3
LXX
καὶ ἔπεσεν ¨Αβραμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεὸς λέγων·
BSB
BSB:
Then Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,
4
LXX
καὶ ἐγὼ ἰδοὺ ἡ διαθήκη μου μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ἔσῃ πατὴρ πλήθους ἐθνῶν,
BSB
BSB:
“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.
5
LXX
καὶ οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι τὸ ὄνομά σου ¨Αβραμ, ἀλλ᾿ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου Ἁβραάμ, ὅτι πατέρα πολλῶν ἐθνῶν τέθεικά σε.
BSB
BSB:
No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.
6
LXX
καὶ αὐξανῶ σε σφόδρα σφόδρα καὶ θήσω σε εἰς ἔθνη, καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐκ σοῦ ἐξελεύσονται.
BSB
BSB:
I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you.
7
LXX
καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου ἀνὰ μέσον σοῦ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετά σέ, εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν, εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον, εἶναί σου Θεὸς καὶ τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετὰ σέ.
BSB
BSB:
I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.
8
LXX
καὶ δώσω σοι καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ τὴν γῆν, ἣν παροικεῖς, πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν Χαναάν, εἰς κατάσχεσιν αἰώνιον καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς εἰς Θεόν.
BSB
BSB:
And to you and your descendants I will give the land where you are residing—all the land of Canaan—as an eternal possession; and I will be their God.”
9
LXX
καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Ἁβραάμ· σὺ δὲ τὴν διαθήκην μου διατηρήσεις, σὺ καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.
BSB
BSB:
God also said to Abraham, “You must keep My covenant—you and your descendants in the generations after you.
10
LXX
καὶ αὕτη ἡ διαθήκη, ἣν διατηρήσεις, ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ σπέρματός σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς τὰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν· περιτμηθήσεται ὑμῶν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν,
BSB
BSB:
This is My covenant with you and your descendants after you, which you are to keep: Every male among you must be circumcised.
11
LXX
καὶ περιτμηθήσεσθε τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας ὑμῶν, καὶ ἔσται εἰς σημεῖον διαθήκης ἀνὰ μέσον ἐμοῦ καὶ ὑμῶν.
BSB
BSB:
You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
12
LXX
καὶ παιδίον ὀκτὼ ἡμερῶν περιτμηθήσεται ὑμῖν, πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν, ὁ οἰκογενὴς καὶ ὁ ἀργυρώνητος, ἀπὸ παντὸς υἱοῦ ἀλλοτρίου, ὃς οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματός σου.
BSB
BSB:
Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner—even those who are not your offspring.
13
LXX
περιτομῇ περιτμηθήσεται ὁ οἰκογενὴς τῆς οἰκίας σου καὶ ὁ ἀργυρώνητος, καὶ ἔσται ἡ διαθήκη μου ἐπὶ τῆς σαρκὸς ὑμῶν εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον.
BSB
BSB:
Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.
14
LXX
καὶ ἀπερίτμητος ἄρσην, ὃς οὐ περιτμηθήσεται τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ, ἐξολοθρευθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ ἐκείνη ἐκ τοῦ γένους αὐτῆς, ὅτι τὴν διαθήκην μου διεσκέδασε.
BSB
BSB:
But if any male is not circumcised, he will be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
15
LXX
Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς τῷ Ἁβραάμ· Σάρα ἡ γυνή σου οὐ κληθήσεται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς Σάρα, ἀλλὰ Σάρρα ἔσται τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς.
BSB
BSB:
Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.
16
LXX
εὐλογήσω δὲ αὐτήν, καὶ δώσω σοι ἐξ αὐτῆς τέκνον· καὶ εὐλογήσω αὐτό, καὶ ἔσται εἰς ἔθνη, καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐθνῶν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔσονται.
BSB
BSB:
And I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will descend from her.”
17
LXX
καὶ ἔπεσεν Ἁβραὰμ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐγέλασε καὶ εἶπεν ἐν τῇ διανοίᾳ αὐτοῦ λέγων· εἰ τῷ ἑκατονταετεῖ γενήσεται υἱός; καὶ εἰ ἡ Σάρρα ἐνενήκοντα ἐτῶν τέξεται;
BSB
BSB:
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?”
18
LXX
εἶπε δὲ Ἁβραὰμ πρὸς τὸν Θεόν· Ἰσμαὴλ οὗτος ζήτω ἐναντίον σου.
BSB
BSB:
And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live under Your blessing!”
19
LXX
εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Ἁβραὰμ· ναί· ἰδοὺ Σάρρα ἡ γυνή σου τέξεταί σοι υἱόν, καὶ καλέσεις τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ Ἰσαάκ, καὶ στήσω τὴν διαθήκην μου πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον, εἶναι αὐτῷ Θεὸς καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ μετ᾿ αὐτόν.
BSB
BSB:
But God replied, “Your wife Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.
20
LXX
περὶ δὲ Ἰσμαὴλ ἰδοὺ ἐπήκουσά σου· καὶ ἰδοὺ εὐλόγηκα αὐτὸν καὶ αὐξανῶ αὐτόν καὶ πληθυνῶ αὐτὸν σφόδρα· δώδεκα ἔθνη γεννήσει καὶ δώσω αὐτὸν εἰς ἔθνος μέγα.
BSB
BSB:
As for Ishmael, I have heard you, and I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He will become the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation.
21
LXX
τὴν δὲ διαθήκην μου στήσω πρὸς Ἰσαάκ, ὃν τέξεταί σοι Σάρρα εἰς τὸν καιρὸν τοῦτον, ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ ἑτέρῳ.
BSB
BSB:
But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”
22
LXX
συνετέλεσε δὲ λαλῶν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἀνέβη ὁ Θεὸς ἀπό Ἁβραάμ.
BSB
BSB:
When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
23
LXX
Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἁβραὰμ Ἰσμαὴλ τὸν υἱὸν ἑαυτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀργυρωνήτους καὶ πᾶν ἄρσεν τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ἁβραὰμ καὶ περιέτεμε τὰς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης, καθὰ ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός.
BSB
BSB:
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.
24
LXX
Ἁβραὰμ δὲ ἐνενηκονταεννέα ἦν ἐτῶν, ἡνίκα περιετέμετο τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ.
BSB
BSB:
So Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised,
25
LXX
Ἰσμαὴλ δὲ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἦν ἐτῶν δεκατριῶν, ἡνίκα περιετέμετο τὴν σάρκα τῆς ἀκροβυστίας αὐτοῦ.
BSB
BSB:
and his son Ishmael was thirteen;
26
LXX
ἐν δὲ τῷ καιρῷ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης περιετμήθη Ἁβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσμαὴλ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ·
BSB
BSB:
Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised on the same day.
27
LXX
καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ οἰκογενεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ οἱ ἀργυρώνητοι ἐξ ἀλλογενῶν ἐθνῶν, περιέτεμεν αὐτούς.
BSB
BSB:
And all the men of Abraham’s household—both servants born in his household and those purchased from foreigners—were circumcised with him.
