Genesis 17:13
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy
money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an
everlasting covenant.
a. NLT: All
must be circumcised. Your bodies will bear the mark of my everlasting covenant.
b. NIV: Whether
born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My
covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.
c. YLT: he
is certainly circumcised who is born in thine house, or bought
with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your flesh a covenant
age-during;
d. Amplified Bible: He
that is born in your house and he that is bought with your money must be
circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting
covenant.
e. Septuagint: He
that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with money shall be surely
circumcised, and my covenant shall be on your flesh for an everlasting
covenant.
f. Stone Edition Chumash: He that
is born in your household or purchased with your money shall surely be
circumcised. Thus, My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting
covenant.
1. “He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with
thy money…”
a. he that is born [3211 * yaliyd]
[Strong: from 3205; born:--((home-))born, child, son.]
b. in thy house [1004 * bayith] [Strong:
from 1129 abbreviated; a house (in the greatest variation of
applications, especially family, etc.):--court, daughter, door, + dungeon,
family, + forth of, X great as would contain, hangings, home(born),
(winter)house(-hold), inside(-ward), palace, place, + prison, + steward, +
tablet, temple, web, + within(-out).]
c. he that is bought [4736 * miqnah]
[Strong: feminine of 4735; properly, a buying, i.e. acquisition;
concretely, a piece of property (land or living); also the sum paid:--(he that
is) bought, possession, piece, purchase.]
d. with thy money [4736 * miqnah]
[Strong: feminine of 4735; properly, a buying, i.e. acquisition;
concretely, a piece of property (land or living); also the sum paid:--(he that

2. “…must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in
your flesh for an everlasting covenant.”
a. must needs [4135 * muwl]
[Strong: a primitive root; to cut short,
i.e. curtail (specifically the prepuce, i.e. to circumcise); by implication, to
blunt; figuratively, to destroy:--circumcise(-ing), selves), cut down (in

b. be circumcised [4135 * muwl]

blunt; figuratively, to destroy:--circumcise(-ing), selves), cut down (in

1). The Hebrew word is listed twice
because it is in the text twice. My guess is to emphasize its importance. As in
Jesus saying “Verily, verily”.
c. and my covenant [1285 * bryith]
[Strong: from 1262 (in the sense of cutting (like 1254)); a
compact (because made by passing between pieces of flesh):--confederacy,
(con-)feder(-ate), covenant, league.]

kin, (man-)kind, + nakedness, self, skin.]
e. for an everlasting[5769 * ‘owlam
