He has broken my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.”Verse 15God said to Abraham [Father of a multitude], “As for Sarai [Mockery] your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai [Mockery], but her name will be Sarah [Princess].Verse 16I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her.

You shall call his name Isaac [Laughter]. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· for his offspring after him.+Verse 20As for Ishmael [Pays attention God], I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.Verse 21But my covenant I establish with Isaac [Laughter], whom Sarah [Princess] will bear to you at this set time next year.”Verse 22When he finished talking with him,+the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· went up from Abraham [Father of a multitude].Verse 23Abraham [Father of a multitude] took Ishmael [Pays attention God] his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.
