In context
19God said, “No — Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. 20As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will bless him and make him fruitful, and I will multiply him greatly. He will father twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. 21But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear you at this time next year.” 22When he had finished speaking with him, God went up from Abraham. 23That very day, Abraham took his son Ishmael, everyone born in his household, and everyone bought with his money — every male among the men of Abraham’s household — and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin, just as God had told him.
