Covenant Circumcision
1 When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him, saying, "I am God Almighty. Live in My presence and be devout.
2
I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you greatly."
3
Then Abram fell to the ground, and God spoke with him:
4
"As for Me, My covenant is with you, and you will become the father of many nations.
5
Your name will no longer be Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I will make you the father of many nations.
6
I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you.
7
I will keep My covenant between Me and you, and your offspring after you throughout their generations, as an everlasting covenant to be your God and the [God] of your offspring after you.
8
And to you and your offspring after you I will give the land where you are residing-all the land of Canaan-as an eternal possession, and I will be their God."
9
God also said to Abraham, "As for you, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations are to keep My covenant.
