When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Walk before Me and be blameless.

No longer will you be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

“As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

But God replied, “Your wife Sarah will indeed bear you a son, and you are to name him Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

And to you and your descendants I will give the land where you are residing— all the land of Canaan— as an eternal possession; and I will be their God.”

Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah give birth at the age of ninety?”

Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai, for her name is to be Sarah.

You are to circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and this will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

But I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”

Generation after generation, every male must be circumcised when he is eight days old, including those born in your household and those purchased from a foreigner — even those who are not your offspring. Whether they are born in your household or purchased, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh will be an everlasting covenant.
