3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 "As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a *(Rom. 4:11, 12, 16)father of many nations. 5 No longer shall *Neh. 9:7your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; *Rom. 4:17for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations *Gen. 17:16; 35:11of you, and *Matt. 1:6kings shall come from you. 7 And I will *(Gal. 3:17)establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, *Gen. 26:24; 28:13; Lev. 11:45; 26:12, 45; Heb. 11:16to be God to you and *Rom. 9:8; Gal. 3:16your descendants after you. 8 Also *Gen. 12:7; 13:15, 17; Acts 7:5I give to you and your descendants after you the land *Gen. 23:4; 28:4in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and *Ex. 6:7; 29:45; Lev. 26:12; Deut. 29:13; Rev. 21:7I will be their God."

9 And God said to Abraham: "As for you, *Ex. 19:5you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 10 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: *John 7:22; Acts 7:8Every male child among you shall be circumcised; 11 and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be *Ex. 12:13, 48; (Rom. 4:11)a sign of the covenant between Me and you.
