Genesis 17:9

Verse 9 of 27. The 17th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

5Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

6I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

7I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.

8I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”

9God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.

10This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

11You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

12He who is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring.

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