Genesis 17:5 (2026) – 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. [cf. v. 9 – And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. v. 15 – And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. v. 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? v. 18 – And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! v. 22 – And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham. v. 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. v. 24 – And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. v. 26 – In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. Gen. 17:5 – 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.]
