When Abram was 99 years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Walk with me and be trustworthy.

And because I have made you the ancestor of many nations, your name will no longer be Abram but Abraham.

I will set up my covenant with you and your descendants after you in every generation as an enduring covenant. I will be your God and your descendants’ God after you.

“But me, my covenant is with you; you will be the ancestor of many nations.

But God said, “No, your wife Sarah will give birth to a son for you, and you will name him Isaac. I will set up my covenant with him and with his descendants after him as an enduring covenant.

I will give you and your descendants the land in which you are immigrants, the whole land of Canaan, as an enduring possession. And I will be their God.”

Abraham fell on his face and laughed. He said to himself, Can a 100-year-old man become a father, or Sarah, a 90-year-old woman, have a child?

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

You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it will be a symbol of the covenant between us.

But I will set up my covenant with Isaac, who will be born to Sarah at this time next year.”

On the eighth day after birth, every male in every generation must be circumcised, including those who are not your own children: those born in your household and those purchased with silver from foreigners. Be sure you circumcise those born in your household and those purchased with your silver. Your flesh will embody my covenant as an enduring covenant.
