Genesis 17:5-15

5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, ^{▼▼ Abram means exalted father} but ^byour name shall be Abraham, ^{▼▼ Abraham means father of a multitude} ^dfor I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make ^eyou into nations, and ^fkings shall come from you. 7 And I will ^gestablish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, ^hto be God to you and to your offspring after you. 8 And ⁱI will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and ^jI will be their God.”

9 And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a ^ksign of the covenant between me and you. 12 He who is ^leight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or ^mbought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, 13 both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money, shall surely be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant. 14 Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”
