Genesis 17:1-6 (New International Version)

Genesis 17

The Covenant of Circumcision

 ¹ When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty ^[a] ; walk before me and be blameless. ² I will confirm my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers."

 ³ Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, ⁴ "As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. ⁵ No longer will you be called Abram ^[b] ; your name will be Abraham, ^[c] for I have made you a father of many nations. ⁶ I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.
