Baverset oyo Eyebani Mpenza ewuti na Genesis 17

When Abram was 99 years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the sovereign God. Walk before me and be blameless.

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

I will confirm my covenant as a perpetual covenant between me and you. It will extend to your descendants after you throughout their generations. I will 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 a multitude of nations.

God said, “No, Sarah your wife is going to bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac. I will confirm my covenant with him as a perpetual covenant for his descendants after him.

I will give the whole land of Canaan – the land where you are now residing – to you and your descendants after you as a permanent possession. I will be their God.”

Then Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground and laughed as he said to himself, “Can a son be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?”

Then God said to Abraham, “As for your wife, you must no longer call her Sarai; Sarah will be her name.

You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins. This will be a reminder of the covenant between me and you.

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

Throughout your generations every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, whether born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not one of your descendants. They must indeed be circumcised, whether born in your house or bought with money. The sign of my covenant will be visible in your flesh as a permanent reminder.
