One verse per line

15 God said to Avraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah. 16 I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her." 17 Then Avraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?" 18 Avraham said to God, "Oh that Yishma'el might live before you!" 19 God said, "No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Yitzchak. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him. 20 As for Yishma'el, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But my covenant I establish with Yitzchak, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time in the next year." 22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Avraham. 23 Avraham took Yishma'el his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Avraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him. 24 Avraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 25 Yishma'el, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 26 In the same day both Avraham and Yishma'el, his son, were circumcised. 27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
