When Abram was 99, the Lord appeared to him and told him, “I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and don't do wrong.

so your name won't be Abram any longer. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I'm going to make you the father of many nations.

I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.

“Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations

“No, it's your wife Sarah who is going to have a son for you!” God replied. “You are to call him Isaac. I will keep my agreement with him and his descendants as an eternal agreement.

I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”

Abraham bowed down with his face to the ground. But inside he was laughing, asking himself, “How on earth could I have a son at the age of one hundred? How could Sarah have a child when she is ninety?”

Then God told Abraham, “Now about Sarai your wife. Don't call her Sarai any longer. Instead, her name will be Sarah.

You are to circumcise your foreskin, and this will be the sign of the agreement between me and you.

But it's with Isaac that I will keep my agreement, the son Sarah will give birth to about this time next year.”

From now and for all generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised. This includes not only your sons but also those born in your household or bought from foreigners. You must circumcise those born in your household or bought from foreigners as a sign in your bodies of my eternal agreement.
