And in the fifth year of the fourth week of this jubilee, in the third month, in the middle of the month, Abram kept the feast of the firstfruits of the harvest of the wheat that he had sown,
And he offered new offerings on the altar, the first-fruits of the produce, unto the Lord, an heifer and a goat and a sheep on the altar as a burnt sacrifice unto the Lord; their fruit-offerings and their drink-offerings he offered upon the altar with frankincense.
Neither will thy name any more be called Abram, But thy name from henceforth, even for ever, shall be Abraham. For the father of many nations have I made thee.

「我要使你極其昌大。」
And I shall make thee very great, And I shall make thee into nations, And kings will come forth from thee. [paragraph continues ]
And I shall establish My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, throughout their generations, for an eternal covenant, so that I may be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

He that is born in thy house will surely be circumcised, and those whom thou hast bought with money will be circumcised, and My covenant will be in your flesh for an eternal ordinance.
1 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin on the eighth day, 2 that soul will be cut off from his people, for he hath broken My covenant. "
And Abraham fell on his face, and rejoiced, and said in his heart: "Shall a son be born to him that is a hundred years old, and shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bring forth? "
And God said: "Yea, and Sarah also will bear thee a son, and thou will call his name Isaac, and I shall maven My covenant with him, an everlasting covenant, and for his seed after him.

這律法是給世世代代直到永遠的，沒有日期可遲延，八日之中不可漏掉一日。
This law is for all the generations for ever, and there is no circumcision of the days, 2 and no omission of one day out of the eight days; 3 for it is an eternal ordinance, ordained and written on the heavenly tables.
And every one that is born, the flesh of whose foreskin is not circumcised on the eighth day, belongeth not to the children of the covenant which the Lord made with Abraham, but to the children of destruction; nor is there, moreover, any sign on him that he is the Lord's, but (he is destined) to be destroyed and slain from the earth, and to be rooted out of the earth, for he hath broken the covenant of the Lord our God.

For Ishmael and his sons and his brothers and Esau, the Lord did not cause to approach Him, and he chose them not because they are the children of Abraham, because He knew them, but He chose Israel to be His people.
15:32
ወዲበ ፡ እስራኤልሰ ፡ ኢያስለጠ ፡ ወኢመነሂ ፡ መልአከ ፡ ወመንፈሰ ።
惟有對以色列，祂沒有派任何天使或靈來掌權，因為惟有祂是他們的主宰。
But over Israel He did not appoint any angel or spirit, for He alone is their ruler, and He will preserve them and require them at the hand of His angels and His spirits, and at the hand of all His powers in order that He may preserve them and bless them, and that they may be His and He may be theirs from henceforth for ever.
And now I announce unto thee that the children of Israel will not keep true to its ordinance, and they will not circumcise their sons according to all this law; for in the flesh of their circumcision they will omit this circumcision of their sons, and all of them, sons of Beliair, 3 will leave their sons uncircumcised as they were born.
And there will be great wrath from the Lord against the children of Israel, because they have forsaken His covenant and turned aside from His word, and problessed and blasphemed, inasmuch as they do not observe the ordinance of this law; for they have treated their members like the Gentiles, so that they may be removed and rooted out of the land. And there will no more be pardon or forgiveness unto them [so that there should be forgiveness and pardon ] for all the sin of this eternal error. Footnotes 9.
