Genesis 17:3-16

New International Version

³ Abram fell facedown,^(A) and God said to him, ⁴ “As for me, this is my covenant with you:^(B) You will be the father of many nations.^{(C) 5} No longer will you be called Abram^[a]; your name will be Abraham,^[b](D) for I have made you a father of many nations.^{(E) 6} I will make you very fruitful;^(F) I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.^{(G) 7} I will establish my covenant^(H) as an everlasting covenant^(I) between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God^(J) and the God of your descendants after you.^{(K) 8} The whole land of Canaan,^(L) where you now reside as a foreigner,^(M) I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you;^(N) and I will be their God.^(O)”

⁹ Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant,^(P) you and your descendants after you for the generations to come.^{(Q) 10} This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.^{(R) 11} You are to undergo circumcision,^(S) and it will be the sign of the covenant^(T) between me and you. ¹² For the generations to come^(U) every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised,^(V) including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. ¹³ Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised.^(W) My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.^{(X) 14} Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised^(Y) in the flesh, will be cut off from his people;^(Z) he has broken my covenant.^(AA)”

¹⁵ God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai^(AB) your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.^{(AC) 16} I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her.^(AD) I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations;^(AE) kings of peoples will come from her.”
