| GENESIS 17 | GENESIS 17 |
| 1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, appearing to him - as divine revelation - was this truth, "I-am^ is the almighty God; coincide therewith and be perfect. | 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 "I will make a covenant between us, and will multiply your progeny exceedingly." | And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. |
| 3 Thereupon Abram fell in reverence, as his thought touched the infinite, revealing to him, | And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, |
| 4 "As for me, behold, this is my covenant with you, your model of mentality will be the life-preserving power of many nations. | As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. |
| 5 "Neither will your name anymore be called Abram, for many nations will show forth your nature in the power of spiritual understanding, your faith in the eternal Principle of Being, so you will be called Abraham. | 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 "Now I will make you exceedingly fruitful, making nations of you, and kings will proceed from you. | And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. |
| 7 "My covenant will be established between us, and with your chidren after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant as your God and your children's God. | 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 to you, and to your children after you, a state of mind wherein you are a stranger, but which enables you to exclude the great negation, for an everlasting possession; and the almighty I-am will be seen as their God and your God." | 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 God also revealed to Abraham, "You must therefore keep my covenant, you, and your children after you in their generations. | 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 with you, which you and your children after you will keep: every male reproductive false belief among you must be severed. | 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 you will sever the fleshly belief betokened by its attending foreskin, which will indicate the covenant between us. | And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. |
| 12 "The one that is cleansed of 'the foul senses within' is purified among you, including every male reproductive false concept in your belief of generations, and the beliefs embraced by your thought, or brought into your consciousness from any source which is not spiritual. | 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. |
| 13 "That which proceeds from your conscious perception, and that which is brought into your thought, must be purified, for my covenant will negate your fleshly beliefs as an everlasting promise. | 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. |
| 14 "As for the unpurified male reproductive concept whose fleshly belief of the foreskin is not severed, that sense will be cut off from its people since it has broken my covenant." | 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 Also, God revealed to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you will not call her name Sarai, but Sarah will her nature be. | 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 you a son also with her; yea, I will bless her, and she will perceive the motherhood of nations; kings of people will be her spiritual perception." | 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 in reverence, and rejoiced, while pondering in his heart, "Could a child be born to him that is an hundred years old? And will Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?" | 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 Then Abraham prayed to God, "O that Ishmael might fulfill your blessing!" | And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! |
| 19 But God revealed, "Sarah your wife will indeed bear you a son, and you will call his name Isaac^, by whose joy man and woman are constituted, and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting promise, and with his children after him. | 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 "As for Ishmael, the only I-am knows your desire, and lo, I have blessed him, making him fruitful and will increase his numbers exceedingly; twelve masters will proceed from him, and I will make of him a great culture. | 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 I will establish with Isaac, which Sarah will bear to you at the set time in the next year." | But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. |
| 22 At which the revelations to him were finished, as the very Mind of God had dwelt with Abraham. | And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. |
| 23 So Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all males upon whom his thought rested, and all that was brought into his household, every male among the men of Abraham's influence, and severed the fleshly belief of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had revealed to him. | 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 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he realized to purify the fleshly belief of procreation betokened by his foreskin. | And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. |
| 25 When Ishmael was thirteen years old, his fleshly belief of procreation, betokened by the foreskin, was severed. | And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. |
| 26 In the selfsame day Abraham's belief of fleshly procreation was purified, and his son Ishmael with him. | In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. |
| 27 All the men upon whom his thought rested, and all brought forth as consciousness with him, and brought under his influence, were likewise purified with him. | And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. |
