Genesis 17:1-7
Bersiyong King James1And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

“And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan…” Ang pagbanggit sa Canaan ay nag-uugat sa salaysay sa tiyak na tao o lugar. Sundan kung saan bumabalik ang pangalan at ano ang nagbabago sa paligid nito.

Genesis 17:8-14
Bersiyong King James8And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
11And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
12And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
13He 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.
14And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.” Hindi mauunawaan ang utos sa pandiwa lamang. Ang tumatanggap, layunin, at lugar nito sa mas malaking tipan o pangangatwiran ang nagtatakda ng pananagutan.
“And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations…” Kailangang pansinin kung sino ang tumatanggap at ano ang saklaw ng pangako, pagpapala, o tipan. Pinipigilan nitong ilayo sa konteksto ang isang personal na salita sa salaysay.
Genesis 17:15-21
Bersiyong King James15And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
16And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
17Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
18And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.

Nagsisimula ang buod sa sinasabi ng sipi at sa ugnayan ng mga bahagi nito. Hindi nito ipinapalagay na nalutas na ng isang denominasyon ang lahat ng tanong. Malinaw na tinutukoy kung ang konklusyon ay nakasalalay sa tradisyon, teoryang pampanitikan, o rekonstruksiyong pangkasaysayan.
Unang inihaharap ang tekstong KJV. Nilalagyan ng malinaw na pangalan ang mga interpretasyon, at ipinapakita lamang ang mga pagkakaiba kapag nakatutulong ang mga ito upang maunawaan kung bakit hindi palaging iisa ang sagot ng mga seryosong komunidad.
Inihahanda pa ang paghahambing ng mga interpretasyon para sa kabanatang ito. Habang wala pa ang mga nasuring tala, malinaw na pinaghihiwalay ng pahinang ito ang teksto ng KJV, buod, at aplikasyon nang hindi sinasabing nagkakasundo ang lahat ng responsableng mambabasa sa bawat tanong.
