Genesis 17:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 And as for any uncircumcised male who has not circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his[a] people. He has broken my covenant. 15 And God said to Abraham, “as for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, for Sarah shall be her name. 16 And I will bless her; moreover, I give to you from her a son. And I will bless her, and she shall give rise to nations.[b] Kings of peoples shall come[c] from her.”
