Circumcision, the Sign of the Covenant
17 Now it happened that when Abram was ninety-nine years old, (A)Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him,
“I am [a]God (B)Almighty;
Walk before Me and be [b](C)blameless,
2 so that I may [c]confirm My (D)covenant between Me and you,
And that I may (E)multiply you exceedingly.”
3 Then Abram (F)fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,
4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a (G)multitude of nations.
5 And no longer shall your name be called [d]Abram,
But (H)your name shall be [e]Abraham;
For (I)I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 And I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and (J)kings will go forth from you. 7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an (K)everlasting covenant, (L)to be God to you and (M)to your seed after you. 8 (N)And I will give to you and to your seed after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and (O)I will be their God.”
