Genesis 17:4-14

4It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.

5And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.

6And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a 1God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.

8And I give to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be a 2God to them.

9And 3God said to Abraham, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keep my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.

10This is my covenant which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee — that every male among you be circumcised.

11And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and [that] shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you.

12And at eight days old shall every male in your generations be circumcised among you — he who is born in the house, and he who is bought with money, any stranger who is not of thy seed.

13He who is born in thy house, and he who is bought with thy money, must be circumcised; and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14And the uncircumcised male who hath not been circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples: he hath broken my covenant.
