Genesis 17

3 Then Abram fell facedown and God spoke with him: 4 "As for me, here is my covenant with you: You will become the father of many nations. 5 Your name will no longer be Abram;  * 17:5 = The Father Is Exalted your name will be Abraham,  * 17:5 = Father of a Multitude for I will make you the father of many nations.  * 17:5 Gn 35:11; 48:19; Rm 4:11–12,16–186 I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you. 7 I will confirm my covenant that is between me and you and your future offspring throughout their generations. It is a permanent covenant  * 17:7 Gn 9:16 to be your God and the God of your offspring after you.  * 17:7 Ex 6:7; Lv 11:45; 26:12,45; Dt 29:13; Heb 11:16; Rv 21:78 And to you and your future offspring  * 17:8 Lit seed,* 17:8 Gl 3:16 I will give the land where you are residing — all the land of Canaan — as a permanent possession,  * 17:8 Gn 48:4; Ac 7:5 and I will be their God."

9 God also said to Abraham, "As for you, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations are to keep my covenant. 10 This is my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you, which you are to keep: Every one of your males must be circumcised. 11 You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskin to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you.  * 17:11 You in v. 11 is pl.,* 17:11 Ex 12:48; Dt 10:16; Ac 7:8; Rm 4:11
