RENEWAL OF THE COVENANT. (Gen. 17:1-27)
Abram . . . ninety years old and nine--thirteen years after the birth of Ishmael [Gen 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 (Exo 6:3), designed to convey the sense of "all-sufficient" (Psa 16:5-6; Psa 73:25).
walk . . . and . . . perfect--upright, or sincere (Psa 51:6) in heart, speech, and behavior. |
The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
Almighty God
"Almighty God" (Hebrew, El Shaddai)
(1) The etymological signification of Almighty God (El Shaddai) is both interesting and touching. God (El) signifies the "Strong One" (See Scofield) - (Gen 1:1). The qualifying word Shaddai is formed from the Hebrew word "shad," the breast, invariably used in Scripture for a woman's breast; for example (Gen 49:25); (Job 3:12); (Psa 22:9); Song of (Sol 1:13); (Sol 4:5); Song of (Sol 7:3); (Sol 7:7); (Sol 7:8); (Sol 8:1); (Sol 8:8); (Sol 8:10); (Isa 28:9); (Eze 16:7). Shaddai therefore means primarily "the breasted." God is "Shaddai," because He is the Nourisher, the Strength-giver, and so, in a secondary sense, the Satisfier, who pours himself into believing lives. As a fretful, unsatisfied babe is not only strengthened and nourished from the mother's breast, but also is quieted, rested, satisfied, so El Shaddai is that name of God which sets Him forth as the Strength-giver and Satisfier of His people. It is on every account to be regretted that "Shaddai" was translated "Almighty." The primary name El or Elohim sufficiently signifies almightiness. "All-sufficient" would far better express both the Hebrew meaning and the characteristic use of the name in Scripture.
(2) Almighty God (El Shaddai) not only enriches, but makes fruitful. This is nowhere better illustrated than in the first occurrence of the name (Gen 17:1-8). To a man ninety-nine years of age, and "as good as dead" (Heb 11:12). He said: "I am the Almighty God El Shaddai . . . I will . . . multiply thee exceedingly." To the same purport is the use of the name in (Gen 28:3); (Gen 28:4).
(3) As Giver of fruitfulness, Almighty God (El Shaddai) chastens His people. For the moral connection of chastening with fruit bearing, see (Joh 15:2); (Heb 12:10); (Rut 1:20). Hence, Almighty is the characteristic name of God in Job, occurring thirty-one times in that book. The hand of El Shaddai falls upon Job, the best man of his time, not in judgment, but in purifying unto greater fruitfulness (Job 5:17-25).

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
The covenant had been made with Abram for at least fourteen years, and yet Abram remained without any visible sign of its accomplishment, and was merely pointed in faith to the inviolable character of the promise of God. Jehovah now appeared to Him again, when he was ninety-nine years old, twenty-four years after his migration, and thirteen after the birth of Ishmael, to give effect to the covenant and prepare for its execution. Having come down to Abram in a visible form (Gen 17:22), He said to him, "I am El Shaddai (almighty God): walk before Me and be blameless." At the establishment of the covenant, God had manifested Himself to him as Jehovah (Gen 15:7); here Jehovah describes Himself as El Shaddai, God the Mighty One. שׁדּי: from שׁדד to be strong, with the substantive termination ai, like חגּי the festal, ישׁישׁי the old man, סיני the thorn-grown, etc. This name is not to be regarded as identical with Elohim, that is to say, with God as Creator and Preserver of the world, although in simple narrative Elohim is used for El Shaddai, which is only employed in the more elevated and solemn style of writing. It belonged to the sphere of salvation, forming one element in the manifestation of Jehovah, and describing Jehovah, the covenant God, as possessing the power to realize His promises, even when the order of nature presented no prospect of their fulfilment, and the powers of nature were insufficient to secure it. The name which Jehovah thus gave to Himself was to be a pledge, that in spite of "his own body now dead," and "the deadness of Sarah's womb" (Rom 4:19), God could and would give him the promised innumerable posterity. On the other hand, God required this of Abram, "Walk before Me (cf. Gen 5:22) and be blameless" (Gen 6:9). "Just as righteousness received in faith was necessary for the establishment of the covenant, so a blameless walk before God was required for the maintenance and confirmation of the covenant." This introduction is followed by a more definite account of the new revelation; first of the promise involved in the new name of God (Gen 17:2-8), and then of the obligation imposed upon Abram (Gen 17:9-14). "I will give My covenant," says the Almighty, "between Me and thee, and multiply thee exceedingly." בּרית נתן signifies, not to make a covenant, but to give, to put, i.e., to realize, to set in operation the things promised in the covenant - equivalent to setting up the covenant (cf. Gen 17:7 and Gen 9:12 with Gen 9:9). This promise Abram appropriated to himself by falling upon his face in worship, upon which God still further expounded the nature of the covenant about to be executed. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
And when Abram was ninety nine years old - Full thirteen years after the birth of Ishmael. So long the promise of Isaac was deferred; Perhaps to correct Abram's over - hasty marrying of Hagar. That Abram and Sarai being so far striken in age, God's power in this matter might be the more magnified. The Lord appeared unto Abram - In some visible display of God's immediate glorious presence with him. And said, I am the Almighty God - By this name he chose to make himself known to Abram, rather than by his name Jehovah, Exo 6:3. He used it to Jacob, Gen 35:11. They called him by this name, Gen 28:5, Gen 43:14, Gen 48:3. It is the name of God that is mostly used throughout the book of Job, at least 30 times in the discourses of that book, in which Jehovah is used but once. After Moses, Jehovah is more frequently used, and this very rarely. I am El - Shaddai. It speaks the almighty power of God, either As an avenger, from wrv he destroyed, or laid waste; so some: and they think God took this title from the destruction of the old world: Or, As a benefactor, v for rva who, and yr it sufficeth. Our old English translation reads it here, very significantly, I am God All - sufficient. The God with whom we have to do, is self - sufficient; he hath every thing, and he needs not any thing. And he is enough to us, if we be in covenant with him; we have all in him, and we have enough in him; enough to satisfy our most enlarged desires; enough to supply the defect of every thing else, and to secure us happiness for our immortal souls.
But the covenant is mutual, walk before me, and be thou perfect - That is, upright and sincere. Observe, That to walk before God, is to set God always before us, and to think, and speak, and act, in every thing as those that are always under his eye. It is to have a constant regard to his word, as our rule, and to his glory, as our end, in all our actions. It is to be inward with him in all the duties of religious worship, and to be entire for him in all holy conversation. That upright walking with God is the condition of our interest in his all - sufficiency. If we neglect him, or dissemble with him, we forfeit the benefit of our relation to him. A continual regard to God's all - sufficiency will have a great influence upon our upright walking with him. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
The Lord appeared to Abram - See note on Gen 15:1.
I am the Almighty God - אני אל שדי ani El shaddai, I am God all-sufficient; from שדה shadah, to shed, to pour out. I am that God who pours out blessings, who gives them richly, abundantly, continually.
Walk before me - התהלך לפני hithhallech lephanai, set thyself to walk - be firmly purposed, thoroughly determined to obey, before me; for my eye is ever on thee, therefore ever consider that God seeth thee. Who can imagine a stronger incitement to conscientious, persevering obedience?
Be thou perfect - והיה תמים vehyeh thamim, and thou shalt be perfections, i.e., a together perfect. Be just such as the holy God would have thee to be, as the almighty God can make thee and live as the all-sufficient God shall support thee; for he alone who makes the soul holy can preserve it in holiness. Our blessed Lord appears to have had these words pointedly in view, Mat 5:48 : Εσεσθε ὑμεις τελειοι, ὡσπερ ὁ Πατηρ ὑμων ὁ εν τοις ουρανοις τελειος εστι· Ye Shall Be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect. But what does this imply? Why, to be saved from all the power, the guilt, and the contamination of sin. This is only the negative part of salvation, but it has also a positive part; to be made perfect - to be perfect as our Father who is in heaven is perfect, to be filled with the fullness of God, to have Christ dwelling continually in the heart by faith, and to be rooted and grounded in love. This is the state in which man was created, for he was made in the image and likeness of God. This is the state from which man fell, for he broke the command of God. And this is the state into which every human soul must be raised, who would dwell with God in glory; for Christ was incarnated and died to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. What a glorious privilege! And who can doubt the possibility of its attainment, who believes in the omnipotent love of God, the infinite merit of the blood of atonement, and the all-pervading and all-purifying energy of the Holy Ghost? How many miserable souls employ that time to dispute and cavil against the possibility of being saved from their sins, which they should devote to praying and believing that they might be saved out of the hands of their enemies! But some may say, "You overstrain the meaning of the term; it signifies only, be sincere; for as perfect obedience is impossible, God accepts of sincere obedience." If by sincerity the objection means good desires, and generally good purposes, with an impure heart and spotted life, then I assert that no such thing is implied in the text, nor in the original word; but if the word sincerity be taken in its proper and literal sense, I have no objection to it. Sincere is compounded of sine cera, "without wax;" and, applied to moral subjects, is a metaphor taken from clarified honey, from which every atom of the comb or wax is separated. Then let it be proclaimed from heaven, Walk before me, and be Sincere! purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump unto God; and thus ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect. This is sincerity. Reader, remember that the blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin. Ten thousand quibbles on insulated texts can never lessen, much less destroy, the merit and efficacy of the great Atonement. |
6 Behold, thou desirest [02654] truth [0571] in the inward parts [02910]: and in the hidden [05640] part thou shalt make me to know [03045] wisdom [02451].
25 Whom have I in heaven [08064] but thee? and there is none upon earth [0776] that I desire [02654] beside thee.
5 The LORD [03068] is the portion [04490] of mine inheritance [02506] and of my cup [03563]: thou maintainest [08551] my lot [01486].
6 The lines [02256] are fallen [05307] unto me in pleasant [05273] places; yea, I have a goodly [08231] heritage [05159].
3 And I appeared [07200] unto Abraham [085], unto Isaac [03327], and unto Jacob [03290], by the name of God [0410] Almighty [07706], but by my name [08034] JEHOVAH [03068] was I not known [03045] to them.
16 And Abram [087] was fourscore [08084] [08141] and six [08337] years [08141] old [01121], when Hagar [01904] bare [03205] Ishmael [03458] to Abram [087].
3 And this [01931] man [0376] went up [05927] out of his city [05892] yearly [03117] [03117] to worship [07812] and to sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] in Shiloh [07887]. And the two [08147] sons [01121] of Eli [05941], Hophni [02652] and Phinehas [06372], the priests [03548] of the LORD [03068], were there.
33 And Abraham planted [05193] a grove [0815] in Beersheba [0884], and called [07121] there on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], the everlasting [05769] God [0410].
1 And when Abram [087] was ninety [08673] [08141] years [08141] old [01121] and nine [08672], the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] to Abram [087], and said [0559] unto him, I am the Almighty [07706] God [0410]; walk [01980] before me [06440], and be thou perfect [08549].
2 And Abram [087] said [0559], Lord [0136] GOD [03069], what wilt thou give [05414] me, seeing I go [01980] childless [06185], and the steward [01121] [04943] of my house [01004] is this [01931] Eliezer [0461] of Damascus [01834]?
18 And Melchizedek [04442] king [04428] of Salem [08004] brought forth [03318] bread [03899] and wine [03196]: and he was the priest [03548] of the most high [05945] God [0410].
1 In the beginning [07225] God [0430] created [01254] [0853] the heaven [08064] and [0853] the earth [0776].
17 Behold, happy [0835] is the man [0582] whom God [0433] correcteth [03198]: therefore despise [03988] not thou the chastening [04148] of the Almighty [07706]:
18 For he maketh sore [03510], and bindeth up [02280]: he woundeth [04272], and his hands [03027] make whole [07495].
19 He shall deliver [05337] thee in six [08337] troubles [06869]: yea, in seven [07651] there shall no evil [07451] touch [05060] thee.
20 In famine [07458] he shall redeem [06299] thee from death [04194]: and in war [04421] from the power [03027] of the sword [02719].
21 Thou shalt be hid [02244] from the scourge [07752] of the tongue [03956]: neither shalt thou be afraid [03372] of destruction [07701] when it cometh [0935].
22 At destruction [07701] and famine [03720] thou shalt laugh [07832]: neither shalt thou be afraid [03372] of the beasts [02416] of the earth [0776].
23 For thou shalt be in league [01285] with the stones [068] of the field [07704]: and the beasts [02416] of the field [07704] shall be at peace [07999] with thee.
24 And thou shalt know [03045] that thy tabernacle [0168] shall be in peace [07965]; and thou shalt visit [06485] thy habitation [05116], and shalt not sin [02398].
25 Thou shalt know [03045] also that thy seed [02233] shall be great [07227], and thine offspring [06631] as the grass [06212] of the earth [0776].
20 And she said [0559] unto them, Call [07121] me not Naomi [05281], call [07121] me Mara [04755]: for the Almighty [07706] hath dealt very [03966] bitterly [04843] with me.
10 For [1063] they verily [3303] for [4314] a few [3641] days [2250] chastened [3811] us after [2596] their own [846] pleasure [1380]; but [1161] he for [1909] our profit [4851], that [1519] we might be partakers [3335] of his [846] holiness [41].
2 Every [3956] branch [2814] in [1722] me [1698] that [846] beareth [5342] not [3361] fruit [2590] he taketh away [142]: and [2532] every [3956] branch that beareth [5342] fruit [2590], he purgeth [2508] it [846], that [2443] it may bring forth [5342] more [4119] fruit [2590].
4 And give [05414] thee the blessing [01293] of Abraham [085], to thee, and to thy seed [02233] with thee; that thou mayest inherit [03423] the land [0776] wherein thou art a stranger [04033], which God [0430] gave [05414] unto Abraham [085].
3 And God [0410] Almighty [07706] bless [01288] thee, and make thee fruitful [06509], and multiply [07235] thee, that thou mayest be a multitude [06951] of people [05971];
12 Therefore [1352] sprang there [1080] even [2532] of [575] one [1520], and [2532] him [5023] as good as dead [3499], so many as [2531] the stars [798] of the sky [3772] in multitude [4128], and [2532] as [5616] the sand [285] which [3588] is by [3844] the sea [2281] shore [5491] innumerable [382].
1 And when Abram [087] was ninety [08673] [08141] years [08141] old [01121] and nine [08672], the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] to Abram [087], and said [0559] unto him, I am the Almighty [07706] God [0410]; walk [01980] before me [06440], and be thou perfect [08549].
2 And I will make [05414] my covenant [01285] between me and thee, and will multiply [07235] thee exceedingly [03966] [03966].
3 And Abram [087] fell [05307] on his face [06440]: and God [0430] talked [01696] with him, saying [0559],
4 As for me [0589], behold, my covenant [01285] is with thee, and thou shalt be a father [01] of many [01995] nations [01471].
5 Neither shall thy name [08034] any more be called [07121] Abram [087], but thy name [08034] shall be Abraham [085]; for a father [01] of many [01995] nations [01471] have I made thee [05414].
6 And I will make [06509] thee exceeding [03966] [03966] fruitful [06509], and I will make [05414] nations [01471] of thee, and kings [04428] shall come out [03318] of thee.
7 And I will establish [06965] my covenant [01285] between me and thee and thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] in their generations [01755] for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285], to be a God [0430] unto thee, and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310].
8 And I will give [05414] unto thee, and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310], the land [0776] wherein thou art a stranger [04033], all the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], for an everlasting [05769] possession [0272]; and I will be their God [0430].
7 I have caused [05414] thee to multiply [07233] as the bud [06780] of the field [07704], and thou hast increased [07235] and waxen great [01431], and thou art come [0935] to excellent [05716] ornaments [05716]: thy breasts [07699] are fashioned [03559], and thine hair [08181] is grown [06779], whereas thou wast naked [05903] and bare [06181].
9 Whom shall he teach [03384] knowledge [01844]? and whom shall he make to understand [0995] doctrine [08052]? them that are weaned [01580] from the milk [02461], and drawn [06267] from the breasts [07699].
10 I am a wall [02346], and my breasts [07699] like towers [04026]: then was I in his eyes [05869] as one that found [04672] favour [07965].
8 We have a little [06996] sister [0269], and she hath no breasts [07699]: what shall we do [06213] for our sister [0269] in the day [03117] when she shall be spoken for [01696]?
1 O that [05414] thou wert as my brother [0251], that sucked [03243] the breasts [07699] of my mother [0517]! when I should find [04672] thee without [02351], I would kiss [05401] thee; yea, I should not be despised [0936].
8 I said [0559], I will go up [05927] to the palm tree [08558], I will take hold [0270] of the boughs [05577] thereof: now also thy breasts [07699] shall be as clusters [0811] of the vine [01612], and the smell [07381] of thy nose [0639] like apples [08598];
7 This thy stature [06967] is like [01819] to a palm tree [08558], and thy breasts [07699] to clusters [0811] of grapes.
3 Thy two [08147] breasts [07699] are like two [08147] young [06082] roes [06646] that are twins [08380].
5 Thy two [08147] breasts [07699] are like two [08147] young [06082] roes [06646] that are twins [08380], which feed [07462] among the lilies [07799].
13 A bundle [06872] of myrrh [04753] is my wellbeloved [01730] unto me; he shall lie [03885] all night betwixt my breasts [07699].
9 But thou art he that took [01518] me out of the womb [0990]: thou didst make me hope [0982] when I was upon my mother's [0517] breasts [07699].
12 Why did the knees [01290] prevent [06923] me? or why the breasts [07699] that I should suck [03243]?
25 Even by the God [0410] of thy father [01], who shall help [05826] thee; and by [0854] the Almighty [07706], who shall bless [01288] thee with blessings [01293] of heaven [08064] above [05920], blessings [01293] of the deep [08415] that lieth [07257] under, blessings [01293] of the breasts [07699], and of the womb [07356]:
1 In the beginning [07225] God [0430] created [01254] [0853] the heaven [08064] and [0853] the earth [0776].
9 And I, behold, I establish [06965] my covenant [01285] with you, and with your seed [02233] after you [0310];
12 And God [0430] said [0559], This is the token [0226] of the covenant [01285] which I [0589] make [05414] between me and you and every living [02416] creature [05315] that is with you, for perpetual [05769] generations [01755]:
7 And I will establish [06965] my covenant [01285] between me and thee and thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] in their generations [01755] for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285], to be a God [0430] unto thee, and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310].
9 And God [0430] said [0559] unto Abraham [085], Thou shalt keep [08104] my covenant [01285] therefore, thou, and thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] in their generations [01755].
10 This is my covenant [01285], which ye shall keep [08104], between me and you and thy seed [02233] after thee [0310]; Every man child [02145] among you shall be circumcised [04135].
11 And ye shall circumcise [05243] the flesh [01320] of your foreskin [06190]; and it shall be a token [0226] of the covenant [01285] betwixt me and you.
12 And he that is eight [08083] days [03117] old [01121] shall be circumcised [04135] among you, every man child [02145] in your generations [01755], he that is born [03211] in the house [01004], or bought [04736] with money [03701] of any stranger [01121] [05236], which is not of thy seed [02233].
13 He that is born [03211] in thy house [01004], and he that is bought [04736] with thy money [03701], must needs [04135] be circumcised [04135]: and my covenant [01285] shall be in your flesh [01320] for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285].
14 And the uncircumcised [06189] man child [02145] whose [0834] flesh [01320] of his foreskin [06190] is not circumcised [04135], that soul [05315] shall be cut off [03772] from his people [05971]; he hath broken [06565] my covenant [01285].
2 And I will make [05414] my covenant [01285] between me and thee, and will multiply [07235] thee exceedingly [03966] [03966].
3 And Abram [087] fell [05307] on his face [06440]: and God [0430] talked [01696] with him, saying [0559],
4 As for me [0589], behold, my covenant [01285] is with thee, and thou shalt be a father [01] of many [01995] nations [01471].
5 Neither shall thy name [08034] any more be called [07121] Abram [087], but thy name [08034] shall be Abraham [085]; for a father [01] of many [01995] nations [01471] have I made thee [05414].
6 And I will make [06509] thee exceeding [03966] [03966] fruitful [06509], and I will make [05414] nations [01471] of thee, and kings [04428] shall come out [03318] of thee.
7 And I will establish [06965] my covenant [01285] between me and thee and thy seed [02233] after thee [0310] in their generations [01755] for an everlasting [05769] covenant [01285], to be a God [0430] unto thee, and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310].
8 And I will give [05414] unto thee, and to thy seed [02233] after thee [0310], the land [0776] wherein thou art a stranger [04033], all the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], for an everlasting [05769] possession [0272]; and I will be their God [0430].
9 These are the generations [08435] of Noah [05146]: Noah [05146] was a just [06662] man [0376] and perfect [08549] in his generations [01755], and Noah [05146] walked [01980] with God [0430].
22 And Enoch [02585] walked [01980] with [0854] God [0430] after [0310] he begat [03205] [0853] Methuselah [04968] three [07969] hundred [03967] years [08141], and begat [03205] sons [01121] and daughters [01323]:
19 And [2532] being not [3361] weak [770] in faith [4102], he considered [2657] not [3756] his own [1438] body [4983] now [2235] dead [3499], when he was [5225] about [4225] an hundred years old [1541], neither yet [2532] the deadness [3500] of Sara's [4564] womb [3388]:
7 And he said [0559] unto him, I am the LORD [03068] that brought thee out [03318] of Ur [0218] of the Chaldees [03778], to give [05414] thee this land [0776] to inherit [03423] it.
22 And he left off [03615] talking [01696] with him, and God [0430] went up [05927] from Abraham [085].
3 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] unto Joseph [03130], God [0410] Almighty [07706] appeared [07200] unto me at Luz [03870] in the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], and blessed [01288] me,
14 And God [0410] Almighty [07706] give [05414] you mercy [07356] before [06440] the man [0376], that he may send away [07971] your other [0312] brother [0251], and Benjamin [01144]. If [0834] I be bereaved [07921] of my children, I am bereaved [07921].
5 And Isaac [03327] sent away [07971] Jacob [03290]: and he went [03212] to Padanaram [06307] unto Laban [03837], son [01121] of Bethuel [01328] the Syrian [0761], the brother [0251] of Rebekah [07259], Jacob's [03290] and Esau's [06215] mother [0517].
11 And God [0430] said [0559] unto him, I am God [0410] Almighty [07706]: be fruitful [06509] and multiply [07235]; a nation [01471] and a company [06951] of nations [01471] shall be of thee, and kings [04428] shall come [03318] out of thy loins [02504];
3 And I appeared [07200] unto Abraham [085], unto Isaac [03327], and unto Jacob [03290], by the name of God [0410] Almighty [07706], but by my name [08034] JEHOVAH [03068] was I not known [03045] to them.
48 Be [2071] ye [5210] therefore [3767] perfect [5046], even [5618] as your [5216] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772] is [2076] perfect [5046].
1 After [0310] these things [01697] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] came [01961] unto Abram [087] in a vision [04236], saying [0559], Fear [03372] not, Abram [087]: I am thy shield [04043], and thy exceeding [03966] great [07235] reward [07939].
