¹ WHEN ABRAM was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, I am the Almighty God; walk and live habitually before Me and be perfect (blameless, wholehearted, complete). ² And I will make My covenant (solemn pledge) between Me and you and will multiply you exceedingly. ³ Then Abram fell on his face, and God said to him, ⁴ As for Me, behold, My covenant (solemn pledge) is with you, and you shall be the father of many nations. ⁵ Nor shall your name any longer be Abram ; but your name shall be Abraham , for I have made you the father of many nations. ⁶ And I will make you exceedingly fruitful and I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you. ⁷ And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting, solemn pledge, to be a God to you and to your posterity after you. ⁸ And I will give to you and to your posterity after you the land in which you are a stranger , all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. ⁹ And God said to Abraham, As for you, you shall therefore 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 posterity after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. ¹¹ And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a token or sign of the covenant (the promise or pledge) between Me and you.
