And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673+H8141 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am the AlmightyH7706 GodH410; walkH1980 before meH6440, and be thou perfectH8549. {perfect: or, upright, or, sincere}
And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966+H3966.
And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talkedH1696 with him, sayingH559,
As for meH589, behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt be a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471. {many…: Heb. multitude of nations}
Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of manyH1995 nationsH1471 have I made theeH5414. {Abraham: that is, Father of a great multitude}
And I will makeH6509 thee exceedingH3966+H3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall come outH3318 of thee.
And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310.
And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after theeH310, the landH776 wherein thou art a strangerH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and I will be their GodH430. {wherein…: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, Thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285 therefore, thou, and thy seedH2233 after theeH310 in their generationsH1755.
This is my covenantH1285, which ye shall keepH8104, between me and you and thy seedH2233 after theeH310; Every man childH2145 among you shall be circumcisedH4135.
And ye shall circumciseH5243 the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall be a tokenH226 of the covenantH1285 betwixt me and you.
And he that is eightH8083 daysH3117 oldH1121 shall be circumcisedH4135 among you, every man childH2145 in your generationsH1755, he that is bornH3211 in the houseH1004, or boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of any strangerH1121+H5236, which is not of thy seedH2233. {he that is eight…: Heb. a son of eight days}
He that is bornH3211 in thy houseH1004, and he that is boughtH4736 with thy moneyH3701, must needsH4135 be circumcisedH4135: and my covenantH1285 shall be in your fleshH1320 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285.
And the uncircumcisedH6189 man childH2145 whoseH834 fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190 is not circumcisedH4135, that soulH5315 shall be cut offH3772 from his peopleH5971; he hath brokenH6565 my covenantH1285.
And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, As for SaraiH8297 thy wifeH802, thou shalt not callH7121 her nameH8034 SaraiH8297, butH3588 SarahH8283 shall her nameH8034 be. {Sarah: that is Princess}
And I will blessH1288 her, and giveH5414 thee a sonH1121 also of her: yea, I will blessH1288 her, and she shall be a mother of nationsH1471; kingsH4428 of peopleH5971 shall be of her. {she…: Heb. she shall become nations}
Then AbrahamH85 fellH5307 upon his faceH6440, and laughedH6711, and saidH559 in his heartH3820, Shall a child be bornH3205 unto him that is an hundredH3967 yearsH8141 oldH1121? and shall SarahH8283, that is ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1323, bearH3205?
And AbrahamH85 saidH559 unto GodH430, O thatH3863 IshmaelH3458 might liveH2421 before theeH6440!
And GodH430 saidH559, SarahH8283 thy wifeH802 shall bearH3205 thee a sonH1121 indeedH61; and thou shalt callH7121 his nameH8034 IsaacH3327: and I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 with him for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, and with his seedH2233 after himH310.
And as for IshmaelH3458, I have heard theeH8085: Behold, I have blessedH1288 him, and will make him fruitfulH6509, and will multiplyH7235 him exceedinglyH3966+H3966; twelveH6240+H8147 princesH5387 shall he begetH3205, and I will make himH5414 a greatH1419 nationH1471.
But my covenantH1285 will I establishH6965 with IsaacH3327, which SarahH8283 shall bearH3205 unto thee at this set timeH4150 in the nextH312 yearH8141.
And he left offH3615 talkingH1696 with him, and GodH430 went upH5927 from AbrahamH85.
And AbrahamH85 tookH3947 IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121, and all that were bornH3211 in his houseH1004, and all that were boughtH4736 with his moneyH3701, every maleH2145 among the menH582 of Abraham'sH85 houseH1004; and circumcisedH4135 the fleshH1320 of their foreskinH6190 in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117, as GodH430 had saidH1696 unto him.
And AbrahamH85 was ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
And IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121 was thirteenH6240+H7969 yearsH8141 oldH1121, when he was circumcisedH4135 in the fleshH1320 of his foreskinH6190.
In the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 was AbrahamH85 circumcisedH4135, and IshmaelH3458 his sonH1121.
And all the menH582 of his houseH1004, bornH3211 in the houseH1004, and boughtH4736 with moneyH3701 of the strangerH1121+H5236, were circumcisedH4135 with him.
Querverweise zu 1. Mose 17,10 1Mo 17,10
And ye shall circumciseH5243 the fleshH1320 of your foreskinH6190; and it shall be a tokenH226 of the covenantH1285 betwixt me and you.
But in thisH2063 will we consentH225 unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every maleH2145 of you be circumcisedH4135;
Then ZipporahH6855 tookH3947 a sharp stoneH6864, and cut offH3772 the foreskinH6190 of her sonH1121, and castH5060 it at his feetH7272, and saidH559, Surely a bloodyH1818 husbandH2860 art thou to me. {sharp…: or, knife} {cast…: Heb. made it touch}
And when a strangerH1616 shall sojournH1481 with thee, and will keepH6213 the passoverH6453 to the LORDH3068, let all his malesH2145 be circumcisedH4135, and then let him come nearH7126 and keepH6213 it; and he shall be as one that is bornH249 in the landH776: for no uncircumcised personH6189 shall eatH398 thereof.
CircumciseH4135 therefore the foreskinH6190 of your heartH3824, and be no more stiffneckedH6203+H7185.
And the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will circumciseH4135 thine heartH3824, and the heartH3824 of thy seedH2233, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 with all thine heartH3824, and with all thy soulH5315, that thou mayest liveH2416.
At that timeH6256 the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the second timeH8145. {sharp…: or, knives of flints}
And this is the causeH1697 why JoshuaH3091 did circumciseH4135: All the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, even all the menH582 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, after they came outH3318 of EgyptH4714.
CircumciseH4135 yourselves to the LORDH3068, and take awayH5493 the foreskinsH6190 of your heartH3824, ye menH376 of JudahH3063 and inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389: lest my furyH2534 come forthH3318 like fireH784, and burnH1197 that none can quenchH3518 it, becauseH6440 of the evilH7455 of your doingsH4611.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will punishH6485 all them which are circumcisedH4135 with the uncircumcisedH6190; {punish: Heb. visit upon}
EgyptH4714, and JudahH3063, and EdomH123, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and MoabH4124, and all that are in the utmostH7112 cornersH6285, that dwellH3427 in the wildernessH4057: for all these nationsH1471 are uncircumcisedH6189, and all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are uncircumcisedH6189 in the heartH3820. {in the utmost…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, having the corners of their hair polled}
AndG2532 he gaveG1325 himG846 the covenantG1242 of circumcisionG4061: andG2532 soG3779 Abraham begatG1080 IsaacG2464, andG2532 circumcisedG4059 himG846 the eighthG3590 dayG2250; andG2532 IsaacG2464 begat JacobG2384; andG2532 JacobG2384 begat the twelveG1427 patriarchsG3966.
ForG1063 he isG2076 notG3756 a JewG2453, which is one outwardlyG1722+G5318; neitherG3761 is that circumcisionG4061, which is outwardG1722+G5318 inG1722 the fleshG4561:
ButG235 he is a JewG2453, which is one inwardlyG1722+G2927; andG2532 circumcisionG4061 is that of the heartG2588, inG1722 the spiritG4151, and notG3756 in the letterG1121; whoseG3739 praiseG1868 is notG3756 ofG1537 menG444, butG235 ofG1537 GodG2316.
WhatG5101 advantageG4053 thenG3767 hath the JewG2453? orG2228 whatG5101 profitG5622 is there of circumcisionG4061?
WhomG3739 GodG2316 hath set forthG4388 to be a propitiationG2435 throughG1223 faithG4102 inG1722 hisG846 bloodG129, toG1519 declareG1732 hisG846 righteousnessG1343 forG1223 the remissionG3929 of sinsG265 that are pastG4266, throughG1722 the forbearanceG463 of GodG2316; {set forth: or, foreordained} {remission: or, passing over}
ThereforeG3767 we concludeG3049 that a manG444 is justifiedG1344 by faithG4102 withoutG5565 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551.
SeeingG1897 it is oneG1520 GodG2316, whichG3739 shall justifyG1344 the circumcisionG4061 byG1537 faithG4102, andG2532 uncircumcisionG203 throughG1223 faithG4102.
Cometh thisG3778 blessednessG3108 thenG3767 uponG1909 the circumcisionG4061 only, orG2228 uponG1909 the uncircumcisionG203 alsoG2532? forG1063 we sayG3004 thatG3754 faithG4102 was reckonedG3049 to AbrahamG11 forG1519 righteousnessG1343.
HowG4459 was itG3049 thenG3767 reckonedG3049? when he wasG5607 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, orG2228 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? NotG3756 inG1722 circumcisionG4061, butG235 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203.
AndG2532 he receivedG2983 the signG4592 of circumcisionG4061, a sealG4973 of the righteousnessG1343 of the faithG4102 whichG3588 he had yet beingG1722 uncircumcisedG203: thatG1519 heG846 might beG1511 the fatherG3962 of allG3956 them that believeG4100, thoughG1223 they be not circumcisedG203; thatG1519 righteousnessG1343 might be imputedG3049 unto themG846 alsoG2532:
IsG2564 any manG5100 calledG2564 being circumcisedG4059? let himG1986 notG3361 become uncircumcisedG1986. IsG2564 anyG5100 calledG2564 inG1722 uncircumcisionG203? let himG4059 notG3361 be circumcisedG4059.
CircumcisionG4061 isG2076 nothingG3762, andG2532 uncircumcisionG203 isG2076 nothingG3762, butG235 the keepingG5084 of the commandmentsG1785 of GodG2316.
There isG1762 neitherG3756 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, there isG1762 neitherG3756 bondG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, there isG1762 neitherG3756 maleG730 norG2532 femaleG2338: forG1063 yeG5210 areG2075 allG3956 oneG1520 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1161 I testifyG3143 againG3825 to everyG3956 manG444 that is circumcisedG4059, thatG3754 he isG2076 a debtorG3781 to doG4160 the wholeG3650 lawG3551.
ChristG5547 is become of no effect unto youG575+G2673, whosoever of youG3748 are justifiedG1344 byG1722 the lawG3551; ye are fallen fromG1601 graceG5485.
ForG1063 weG2249 through the SpiritG4151 wait forG553 the hopeG1680 of righteousnessG1343 byG1537 faithG4102.
ForG1063 inG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 neitherG3777 circumcisionG4061 availethG2480 any thingG5100, norG3777 uncircumcisionG203; butG235 faithG4102 which workethG1754 byG1223 loveG26.
As many asG3745 desireG2309 to make a fair shewG2146 inG1722 the fleshG4561, theyG3778 constrainG315 youG5209 to be circumcisedG4059; onlyG3440 lestG3363 they should suffer persecutionG1377 for the crossG4716 of ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1352 rememberG3421, thatG3754 yeG5210 being in time pastG4218 GentilesG1484 inG1722 the fleshG4561, whoG3588 are calledG3004 UncircumcisionG203 byG5259 that whichG3588 is calledG3004 the CircumcisionG4061 inG1722 the fleshG4561 made by handsG5499;
ForG1063 weG2249 areG2070 the circumcisionG4061, whichG3588 worshipG3000 GodG2316 in the spiritG4151, andG2532 rejoiceG2744 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, andG2532 haveG3982 noG3756 confidenceG3982 inG1722 the fleshG4561.
