Shnayim Yomi - Lech Lecha - Sh'vi'i - #7

[Music] in year 2047 when avraham is 99 years old hashem comes and commands him to circumcise himself the mitzvah of mila i'm sure we could all understand how difficult it must be for avraham being that he is such an old age to do such an operation and to do it to himself nevertheless he does not object at all at all and he goes straight forward hashem also commands him that not only him but all the men all the boys in his household including his slaves should all be circumcised as well hashem then says that sarai your wife shall not be called sarah rather sarah and that she will have a son exactly this time next year lasts and he says how can i at a hundred years old have a son and after my wife at 90 years old give birth says you will have a son next year you will call him itzhak for you have left the end of this section and the end of this week's torah portion ends off with abraham avinu fulfilling the mitzvah of britain circumcising himself then going and circumcising his son ishmael at the age of 13 years old and then all the rest of the men and the boys in his in his uh household from then on hashem said that all boys to be born shall circumcise themselves on the 8th day
