1. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am Almighty God. Walk before Me and be blameless.
2. And I will make My covenant between you and Me and will exceedingly multiply you.”
3. Abram fell on his face and God said to him,
4. “As for Me, My covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations.
5. No longer will your name be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
6. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.
7. I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.
8. All the land of Canaan, where you now live as strangers, I will give to you and to your descendants for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.”
9. Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
10. This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you; every male among you shall be circumcised.
11. You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
