When Abram was 99 years old, the LORD appeared to him. He said, “I am the Mighty God. Walk faithfully with me. Live in a way that pleases me.

You will not be called Abram anymore. Your name will be Abraham, because I have made you a father of many nations.

I will make my covenant with you last forever. It will be between me and you and your family after you for all time to come. I will be your God. And I will be the God of all your family after you.

“This is my covenant with you. You will be the father of many nations.

Then God said, “Yes, I will bless Ishmael. But your wife Sarah will have a son by you. And you will name him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him. That covenant will last forever. It will be for Isaac and his family after him.

You are now living in Canaan as an outsider. But I will give you the whole land of Canaan. You will own it forever and so will all your family after you. And I will be their God.”

Abraham fell with his face to the ground. He laughed and said to himself, “Can a 100-year-old man have a son? Can Sarah have a child at the age of 90?”

God also said to Abraham, “Do not continue to call your wife by the name Sarai. Her name will be Sarah.

That will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.

But I will establish my covenant with Isaac. By this time next year, Sarah will have a son by you.”

It must be done for all time to come. Every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. That includes those who are born into your own family or outside it. It also includes those bought with money from a stranger. So any male born into your family or bought with your money must be circumcised. My covenant will last forever. Your body will have the mark of my covenant on it.
