1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a 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, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9 ¶ And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. 12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
15 ¶ And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be . 16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. 17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? 18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
23 ¶ And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him. 24 And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 25 And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 26 In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. 27 And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.

Ahd belgisi — sunnat
1 Ibrom toʻqson toʻqqiz yoshga kirganda, Egamiz unga zohir boʻlib, dedi:
— Men Qodir Xudoman. Men koʻrsatgan yoʻldan yur, har doim pokdil boʻlib yashagin. 2 Men sen bilan ahd qilaman, senga juda koʻp nasllar ato qilaman.
3 Ibrom yerga muk tushib taʼzim qildi. Keyin Xudo unga aytdi:
4 — Sen bilan qiladigan ahdim shudir: sen koʻplab xalqlarning otasi boʻlasan. 5 Endi sening ismingni oʻzgartiraman. Isming endi Ibrom emas, Ibrohim boʻladi. Chunki Men seni koʻplab xalqlarning otasi qilaman. 6 Seni juda ham barakali qilaman, sendan xalqlar yarataman, sendan shohlar kelib chiqadi. 7 Men senga va sendan keyingi nasllaringga bergan vaʼdamda turaman. Bu abadiy ahd boʻladi. Men doimo Sening Xudoying, sendan keyingi nasllaringning Xudosi boʻlib qolaman. 8 Sen musofir boʻlib yashab turgan mana shu Kanʼon yurtining hammasini Men senga va nasllaringga abadiy mulk qilib beraman. Men ularning Xudosi boʻlaman.
9 Xudo Ibrohimga yana dedi:
— Sen va sendan keyingi nasllaring avlodlar osha Men bilan qilgan ahdga rioya qilishlaringiz lozim. 10 Sen va sening nasllaring rioya qilishlaringiz kerak boʻlgan ahdim quyidagichadir: orangizdagi har bir erkak sunnat qilinsin. 11 Sunnat — sen bilan Mening oʻrtamizdagi ahdning belgisi boʻladi. 12 Hozirdan boshlab nasllar osha xonadoningdagi har bir oʻgʻil bola tugʻilgandan keyin sakkiz kun oʻtgach, sunnat qilinsin. Bu faqat sening oila aʼzolaringgagina tegishli boʻlmay, balki xonadoningda tugʻilgan xizmatkorlaringga va sening naslingdan boʻlmagan, begonalardan sotib olgan xizmatkorlaringga ham tegishlidir. 13 Xonadoningda tugʻilgan xizmatkorlaring ham, sotib olingan xizmatkorlaring ham sunnat qilinsin. Shunday qilib, Mening sen bilan qilgan ahdim abadiy ekanini tanangizdagi belgi koʻrsatib turadi. 14 Sunnat qilinmagan erkak xalqim orasidan yoʻq qilinsin. U Mening ahdimni buzgan hisoblanadi.
15 Xudo Ibrohimga yana aytdi:
— Xotining Sorayga kelsak, uning ismi bundan keyin Soray boʻlmasin. Hozirdan boshlab uni Sora deb chaqir. 16 Men Soraga marhamat koʻrsataman. Men undan senga oʻgʻil ato qilaman. Ha, Men Soraga shunchalik baraka beramanki, u koʻp xalqlarning onasi boʻladi. Uning nasllari orasidan shohlar chiqadi.
17 Ibrohim muk tushib taʼzim qildi, keyin kulib qoʻydi–da, oʻziga oʻzi dedi: “Yuz yoshga kirgan odam bola koʻrar ekanmi?! Buning ustiga, Sora ham toʻqsonga kirdi, endi bola tugʻarmidi?!” 18 Ibrohim Xudoga:
— Qaniydi, Ismoil Sening marhamating ostida yashasa, — dedi.
19 — Yoʻq, xotining Sora senga oʻgʻil tugʻib beradi, — dedi Xudo. — Sen oʻgʻlingning otini Isʼhoq qoʻyasan. Men oʻgʻling bilan va uning kelgusi nasli bilan abadiy ahdimni davom ettiraman. 20 Ismoil toʻgʻrisida qilgan iltimosingni ham eshitdim. Men unga baraka beraman, uning naslini haddan tashqari koʻpaytiraman. U oʻn ikki yoʻlboshchining otasi boʻladi. Undan buyuk xalq keltirib chiqaraman. 21 Lekin Men Oʻz ahdimni tugʻiladigan oʻgʻling Isʼhoq bilan qilaman. Kelgusi yili xuddi shu paytda Sora senga Isʼhoqni tugʻib beradi.
22 Xudo Ibrohim bilan gaplashib boʻlgach, uning yonidan ketdi.
23 Oʻsha kuniyoq Ibrohim Xudo amr etganday qildi: oʻgʻli Ismoilni, xonadonida tugʻilgan xizmatkorlarini, begonalardan sotib olgan xizmatkorlarini — xonadonidagi hamma erkakni sunnat qildi. 24 Ibrohim sunnat qilinganda, toʻqson toʻqqiz yoshda, 25 oʻgʻli Ismoil oʻn uch yoshda edi. 26 Ibrohim bilan oʻgʻli bir kunda sunnat qilindilar. 27 Shunday qilib, Ibrohimning xonadonidagi jamiki erkak zoti ham u bilan birga sunnat qilindi.
