זַרְעֲךָ֖ אַחֲרֶ֑יךָ
your(ms)=seed/fruit after,you
Notice that the pronouns your and you are singular here and refer to Abraham. Also, it may be clearer or more natural to change the order of some of the clauses in this sentence and say, “This is what I require in my covenant/agreement with you and your descendants who will live after you, which you all must keep/obey:” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “your descendants who will live after you:” or “all your descendants:”
Note 4 topic: translate-key-terms
הִמּ֥וֹל לָכֶ֖ם כָּל זָכָֽר
circumcised to/for=you_all all/each/any/every male
Circumcision involves cutting the foreskin off the penis of a boy or man. Translate this clause in a way that does not offend or embarrass people. Some languages may need to be more discreet and say something general like “must cut off the male skin” or “must follow the male skin-cutting custom.” It may be necessary to include a footnote and/or an explanation in the glossary about this so that people understand what circumcision is, especially in areas where people cut their skin on other parts of the body for other reasons. Alternate translation: “You must circumcise all males who live with you.” or “You must cut off the male foreskin of every boy and man who lives among you.”
17:1-27 God now gave the family signs that the promises would be fulfilled. He changed Abram’s name to Abraham (17:1-8), instituted the rite of circumcision as the sign of the covenant (17:9-14, 23-27), and changed Sarai’s name to Sarah (17:15-22).
OET (OET-LV) This covenant_my which you_all_will_keep between_me and_with_you_all and_between your(ms)_seed/fruit after_you he_will_be_circumcised to/for_you_all every male.
OET (OET-RV) This is the agreement that you and all your future descendants are to follow: every male among you must be circumcised.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
