The Covenant of Circumcision

Genesis 17:1-8

And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, `I am God Almighty, walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect;

and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'

And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him, saying,

`I--lo, My covenant is with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.

`And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a possession age-during, and I have become their God.'
