Genesis 17

Genesis 17 read aloud, in a fresh direct translation from the Hebrew — plain modern English, nothing added. Translator's notes: • Genesis 17:1 — אֵל שַׁדַּי (El Shaddai): chose "El Shaddai". Alternatives: "God Almighty". Why: the compound is kept whole as a name, as the standing rule holds compounds together; Shaddai's meaning is uncertain — it is traditionally rendered "Almighty" — so the name is kept rather than settled by a gloss.
