When Abram was 99 years old, ADONAI appeared to Abram, and He said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Continually walk before Me and you will be blameless.

No longer will your name be Abram, but your name will be Abraham, because I make you the father of a multitude of nations.

Yes, I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, in order to be your God and your seed’s God after you.

“For My part, because My covenant is with you, you will be the father of a multitude of nations.

But God said, “On the contrary, Sarah your wife will bear you a son and you must name him Isaac. So I will confirm My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

I will give to you and to your seed after you the land where you are an outsider —the whole land of Canaan—as an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.”

Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said to his heart, “Will a son be born to a 100-year-old man? Or will Sarah—who is 90 years old—give birth?”

God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her by the name Sarai. Rather, Sarah is her name.

You must be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and this will become a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

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

Also your eight-day-olds must be circumcised, every male, throughout your generations, including a house-born slave or a slave bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your seed. Your house-born slave and your purchased slave must surely be circumcised. So My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
