Genesis 17:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 17:15

13 He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person ^ashall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, ^aand she shall be a mother ^bof nations; ^ckings of peoples shall be from her.”

17 Then Abraham fell on his face ^aand laughed, and said in his heart, “Shall a child be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?”

18 And Abraham ^asaid to God, “Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!”

19 Then God said: “No, ^aSarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My ^bcovenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.
