“Genesis, 17 1.When Abram was ninety-nine years old Yahweh appeared to him and said, ‘I am El Shaddai. Live in my presence, be perfect, 2.and I shall grant a covenant between myself and you, and make you very numerous.’ 3.And Abram bowed to the ground. God spoke to him as follows, 4.’For my part, this is my covenant with you: you will become the father of many nations. 5.And you are no longer to be called Abram; your name is to be Abraham, for I am making you father of many nations. 6.I shall make you exceedingly fertile. I shall make you into nations, and your issue will be kings. 7.And I shall maintain my covenant between myself and you, and your descendants after you, generation after generation, as a covenant in perpetuity, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. 8.And to you and to your descendants after you, I shall give the country where you are now immigrants, the entire land of Canaan, to own in perpetuity. And I shall be their God.’ 9.God further said to Abraham, ‘You for your part must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you, generation after generation. 10.This is my covenant which you must keep between myself and you, and your descendants after you: every one of your males must be circumcised. 11.You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and that will be the sign of the covenant between myself and you. 12.As soon as he is eight days old, every one of your males, generation after generation, must be circumcised, including slaves born within the household or bought from a foreigner not of your descent. 13.Whether born within the household or bought, they must be circumcised. My covenant must be marked in your flesh as a covenant in perpetuity.”
