Ge 17:1-27.
RENEWAL OF THE COVENANT.
1. Abram . . . ninety years old and nine--thirteen years after the birth of Ishmael
[Ge 16:16].
During that interval he had enjoyed the comforts of communion with God but had been favored with no special revelation as formerly, probably on account of his hasty and blameable marriage with Hagar.
the Lord appeared--some visible manifestation of the divine presence, probably the Shekinah or radiant glory of overpowering effulgence.
I am the Almighty God--the name by which He made Himself known to the patriarchs
(Ex 6:3),
designed to convey the sense of "all-sufficient"
(Ps 16:5, 6; 73:25).
walk . . . and . . . perfect--upright, or sincere
(Ps 51:6)
in heart, speech, and behavior.

3. 亚伯兰俯伏在地——这是东方人表示至深恭敬的姿态。其式为身体伏在手上和膝上，面弯至额触地为止。这是有意识的谦卑和至深的恭敬的表达。

3. Abram fell on his face--the attitude of profoundest reverence assumed by Eastern people. It consists in the prostrate body resting on the hands and knees, with the face bent till the forehead touches the ground. It is an expression of conscious humility and profound reverence.

5. 你的名不再叫亚伯兰，要叫亚伯拉罕——在东方国家，改名是宣告那人的历史、地位或宗教有了新的情形。改法各殊：或完全以新名代旧名；或新旧并用；或仅插入几个字母，使改动后的形式可表达其主人在状况或前途上的不同。新名何等快为人所知、其含义何等快传遍全国，实在令人惊奇。在对待亚伯拉罕和撒莱时，神乐意照该地该时代的观念和习俗而行。他不再叫亚伯兰，即“崇高的父”，而要叫亚伯拉罕，即“多国的父”（见
Re 2:17)。

5. but thy name shall be Abraham--In Eastern countries a change of name is an advertisement of some new circumstance in the history, rank, or religion of the individual who bears it. The change is made variously, by the old name being entirely dropped for the new, or by conjoining the new with the old; or sometimes only a few letters are inserted, so that the altered form may express the difference in the owner's state or prospects. It is surprising how soon a new name is known and its import spread through the country. In dealing with Abraham and Sarai, God was pleased to adapt His procedure to the ideas and customs of the country and age. Instead of Abram, "a high father," he was to be called Abraham, "father of a multitude of nations" (see
Re 2:17).

8. 我要把……此地赐给你——这地先前已应许给亚伯拉罕和他的后裔
(Ge 15:18)。
此处应许为“永远的产业”，因此是天堂——“更美的家乡”
(Heb 11:16)
的预表。
영문 원문
8. I will give unto thee . . . the land--It had been previously promised to Abraham and his posterity
(Ge 15:18).
Here it is promised as an "everlasting possession," and was, therefore, a type of heaven, "the better country"
(Heb 11:16).

10. 你们所有的男子都要受割礼——这是旧约教会的记号，正如新约的洗礼；因此这约称为“割礼之约”
(Ac 7:8； Ro 4:11)。
这约的条款如下：在亚伯拉罕和他后裔一方面，当守割礼之礼；在神一方面，他应许在守这礼的情况下，将迦南给他们永远为业，作他和他后裔的神，并使万族因他和他的后裔得福。

10. Every man child among you shall be circumcised--This was the sign in the Old Testament Church as baptism is in the New, and hence the covenant is called "covenant of circumcision"
(Ac 7:8; Ro 4:11).
The terms of the covenant were these: on the one hand Abraham and his seed were to observe the right of circumcision; and on the other, God promised, in the event of such observance, to give them Canaan for a perpetual possession, to be a God to him and his posterity, and that in him and his seed all nations should be blessed.

15, 16. 至于撒莱……我必……也要从她赐你一个儿子——神的旨意是逐渐显明的。早已应许给亚伯拉罕的儿子，如今终于首次告诉他，将是撒拉的孩子。

15, 16. As for Sarai . . . I will . . . give thee a son also of her--God's purposes are gradually made known. A son had been long ago promised to Abraham. Now, at length, for the first time he is informed that it was to be a child of Sarai.

19, 20. 圣约的福气保留给以撒，但普通的福气也丰丰地应许给以实玛利；可见的教会虽不从其家而出，但他个人也许享受了，并且我们有盼望他确实享受了那些福。
영문 원문
19, 20. The blessings of the covenant are reserved for Isaac, but common blessings were abundantly promised to Ishmael; and though the visible Church did not descend from his family, yet personally he might, and it is to be hoped did, enjoy its benefits.
Ge 17:1-27.
立约的更新。
1. 亚伯兰……九十九岁——即以实玛利出生后十三年
[Ge 16:16]。
在这期间，他虽一直享受与神交通的甘甜，却像从前那样没有得到特别的启示，大概是因为他草率而可责地娶了夏甲为妾。
耶和华显现——指神临在的某种可见的彰显，大概是舍金那，即那耀眼的荣光。
我是全能的神——这是他向列祖启示时所用的名
(Ex 6:3)，
意为“全足”
(Ps 16:5, 6；73:25)。
你当在我面前作完全人——即在心思、言语和行为上正直、诚实
(Ps 51:6)。
