Genesis 17:1-27 ASV

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:12

Gen 17:12 And 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. Ver. 12. And he that is eight days old. ] This warrants our baptizing of infants of both sexes. See Trapp on " Gen 9:10 " (Great leap of logic here! Editor.) read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:13

Gen 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. Ver. 13. He that is born in thy house. ] Householders must see to it, that their families fear God. They walk not "in a perfect way" that do otherwise, Psa 101:2 that look not “Aedibus in propriis, quae prava, aut recta gerantur.” My covenant shall be in your flesh. ] That is, the sign of my covenant (by a metonymy of the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:14

Gen 17:14 And 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. Ver. 14. That soul shall be cut off. ] From the commonwealth of Israel; so shall those be from benefit by Christ, that are uncircumcised in heart; as hateful to him as Goliath was to David. Pray, therefore, that God will thrust his holy hand into thy bosom, and pull off that abominable foreskin. He had much ado to forbear Moses, when... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:15

Gen 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah [shall] her name [be]. Ver. 15. Thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah. ] The Chaldee, Sarai, is made Hebrew, Sarah: One of the four letters of Jehovah being also added (as before in Abraham), that she may be, absolutely, a lady or princess. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:16

Gen 17:16 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; kings of people shall be of her. Ver. 16. Yea, I will bless her. ] This is repeated, for the greater comfort of this good old couple, q.d., I will double-bless her, bless her with a witness.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:17

Gen 17:17 Then 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? Ver. 17. Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed. ] Not as doubting, much less deriding, Rom 4:19 but as rejoicing and admiring the goodness and power of God. The narrow-mouthed vessel of his heart not quickly capable of so great comfort - for, Tarda solet magnis rebus inesse fides - he fell upon his... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:18

Gen 17:18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! Ver. 18. Oh that Ishmael might live. ] The life of grace here, and of glory hereafter: that he be not "killed with death" when he dies, as Jezebel’s children were. Rev 2:23 read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:19

Gen 17:19 And 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. Ver. 19. I will establish my covenant with him. ] This was a far greater favour than that bestowed on Ishmael in the next verse, "Twelve princes shall he beget." Nothing so ennobleth as Christ, graces, being in the covenant, &c. Isa 19:25 "Assyria" is "the work of" God’s "hands," but... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:20

Gen 17:20 And 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. Ver. 20. And us for Ishmael, I have heard thee. ] Faithful prayer may have anything at God’s hands. It is but ask and have, with Abraham. As Zedekiah said to his courtiers glossingly, God saith to his servants seriously, The King can deny you nothing. Let this encourage us to pray for... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 17:21

Gen 17:21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. Ver. 21. But my covenant. ] This is the thirteenth time that the covenant is named in this chapter, saith an interpreter; and hereby is meant the promise of Christ and salvation by him. A subject so sweet to every sanctified soul, that St Paul cannot come off it. He names the Lord Jesus Christ ten times together in ten verses. 1Co 1:1-10 It was to him Mel in ore, melos in... read more
