When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said: I am God the Almighty. Walk in my presence and be blameless.

No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I am making you the father of a multitude of nations.

I will maintain my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout the ages as an everlasting covenant, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

For my part, here is my covenant with you: you are to become the father of a multitude of nations.

God replied: Even so, your wife Sarah is to bear you a son, and you shall call him Isaac. It is with him that I will maintain my covenant as an everlasting covenant and with his descendants after him.

I will give to you and to your descendants after you the land in which you are now residing as aliens, the whole land of Canaan, as a permanent possession; and I will be their God.

Abraham fell face down and laughed as he said to himself, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Can Sarah give birth at ninety?”

God further said to Abraham: As for Sarai your wife, do not call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.

Circumcise the flesh of your foreskin. That will be the sign of the covenant between me and you.

But my covenant I will maintain with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you by this time next year.

Throughout the ages, every male among you, when he is eight days old, shall be circumcised, including houseborn slaves and those acquired with money from any foreigner who is not of your descendants. Yes, both the houseborn slaves and those acquired with money must be circumcised. Thus my covenant will be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant.
