3 Cecidit Abram pronus in faciem.	3 Abram tell flat on his face.
4 Dixitque ei Deus : Ego sum, et pactum meum tecum, erisque pater multarum gentium.	4 And God said to him: I AM, and my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father. of many nations.
5 Nec ultra vocabitur nomen tuum Abram, sed appellaberis Abraham : quia patrem multarum gentium constitui te.	5 Neither shall thy name be called any more Abram: but thou shalt be called Abraham: because I have made thee a father of many nations.
6 Faciamque te crescere vehementissime, et ponam te in gentibus, regesque ex te egredientur.	6 And I will make thee increase, exceedingly, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 Et statuam pactum meum inter me et te, et inter semen tuum post te in generationibus suis, f?dere sempiterno : ut sim Deus tuus, et seminis tui post te.	7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and between thy sad after thee in their generations, by a perpetual covenant: to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8 Daboque tibi et semini tuo terram peregrinationis tuæ, omnem terram Chanaan in possessionem æternam, eroque Deus eorum.	8 And I will give to thee, and to thy seed, the land of thy sojournment, all the land of Chanaan for a perpetual possession, and I will be their God.
9 Dixit iterum Deus ad Abraham : Et tu ergo custodies pactum meum, et semen tuum post te in generationibus suis.	9 Again God said to Abraham: And thou therefore shalt keep my covenant, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10 Hoc est pactum meum quod observabitis inter me et vos, et semen tuum post te : circumcidetur ex vobis omne masculinum :	10 This is my covenant which you shall observe, between me and you, and thy seed after thee: All the male kind of you shall be circumcised:
11 et circumcidetis carnem præputii vestri, ut sit in signum f?deris inter me et vos.	11 And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, that it may be for a h sign of the covenant between me and you.
12 Infans octo dierum circumcidetur in vobis, omne masculinum in generationibus vestris : tam vernaculus, quam emptitius circumcidetur, et quicumque non fuerit de stirpe vestra :	12 An infant of eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations: he that is born in the house, as well as the bought servant shall be circumcised, and whosoever is not of your stock:
13 eritque pactum meum in carne vestra in f?dus æternum.	13 And my covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.
14 Masculus, cujus præputii caro circumcisa non fuerit, delebitur anima illa de populo suo : quia pactum meum irritum fecit.	14 The male, whose dash of his foreskin shall not be circumcised, that soul shall be destroyed out of his people: because he hath broken my covenant.
15 Dixit quoque Deus ad Abraham : Sarai uxorem tuam non vocabis Sarai, sed Saram.	15 God said also to Abraham: Sarai thy wife thou shalt not call Sarai, but Sara.
16 Et benedicam ei, et ex illa dabo tibi filium cui benedicturus sum : eritque in nationes, et reges populorum orientur ex eo.	16 And I will bless her, and of her I will give thee a son, whom I will bless, and he shell become nations, and kings of people shall spring from him.
17 Cecidit Abraham in faciem suam, et risit, dicens in corde suo : Putasne centenario nascetur filius ? et Sara nonagenaria pariet ?	17 Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, saying in his heart: Shall a son, thinkest thou, be born to him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth?
18 Dixitque ad Deum : Utinam Ismaël vivat coram te.	18 And he said to God: O that Ismael may live before thee.
19 Et ait Deus ad Abraham : Sara uxor tua pariet tibi filium, vocabisque nomen ejus Isaac, et constituam pactum meum illi in f?dus sempiternum, et semini ejus post eum.	19 And God said to Abraham: Sara thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name Isaac, and I will establish my covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 Super Ismaël quoque exaudivi te : ecce, benedicam ei, et augebo, et multiplicabo eum valde : duodecim duces generabit, et faciam illum in gentem magnam.	20 And as for Ismael I have also heard thee. Behold, I will bless him, and increase, and multiply him exceedingly: he shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.
21 Pactum vero meum statuam ad Isaac, quem pariet tibi Sara tempore isto in anno altero.	21 But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sara shall bring forth to thee at this time in the next year.
22 Cumque finitus esset sermo loquentis cum eo, ascendit Deus ab Abraham.	22 And when he had left oil speaking with him, God went up from Abraham.
23 Tulit autem Abraham Ismaël filium suum, et omnes vernaculos domus suæ, universosque quos emerat, cunctos mares ex omnibus viris domus suæ : et circumcidit carnem præputii eorum statim in ipsa die, sicut præceperat ei Deus.	23 And Abraham took Ismael his son, and all that were born in his house: and all whom he had bought, every male among the men of his house: and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin forthwith the very same day, as God had commanded him.
24 Abraham nonaginta et novem erat annorum quando circumcidit carnem præputii sui.	24 Abraham was ninety and nine years old, when he circumcised the flesh of his foreskin.
25 Et Ismaël filius tredecim annos impleverat tempore circumcisionis suæ.	25 And Ismael his son was full thirteen years old at the time of his circumcision.
26 Eadem die circumcisus est Abraham et Ismaël filius ejus :	26 dummy verses inserted by amos
