¹ When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him. He said, "I am the Mighty God. Walk with me and live without any blame. ² I will now put into practice my covenant between me and you. I will greatly increase your numbers." ³ Abram fell with his face to the ground. God said to him, ⁴ "As for me, this is my covenant with you. You will be the father of many nations. ⁵ "You will not be called Abram anymore. Your name will be Abraham, because I have made you a father of many nations. ⁶ I will give you many children. Nations will come from you. And kings will come from you. ⁷ "I will make my covenant with you. It will last forever. It will be between me and you and your children after you for all time to come. I will be your God. And I will be the God of all of your family after you. ⁸ "You are now living in Canaan as an outsider. But I will give you the whole land of Canaan. You will own it forever. So will your children after you. And I will be their God." ⁹ Then God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant. You and your children after you for all time to come must keep it. ¹⁰ "Here is my covenant that you and your children after you must keep. Every male among you must be circumcised. ¹¹ You must be circumcised. That will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.
