Genesis 17:15 in Context — Genesis 17
13 On devra circoncire celui qui est né dans la maison et celui qui est acquis à prix d’argent; et mon alliance sera dans votre chair une alliance perpétuelle.
14 Un mâle incirconcis, qui n’aura pas été circoncis dans sa chair, sera exterminé du milieu de son peuple: il aura violé mon alliance.
15 Dieu dit à Abraham: Tu ne donneras plus à Saraï, ta femme, le nom de Saraï; mais son nom sera Sara.
16 Je la bénirai, et je te donnerai d’elle un fils; je la bénirai, et elle deviendra des nations; des rois de peuples sortiront d’elle.
17 Abraham tomba sur sa face; il rit, et dit en son cœur: Naîtrait-il un fils à un homme de cent ans? Et Sara, âgée de quatre-vingt-dix ans, enfanterait-elle?
