3. Abram fell on his face, and God said to him,
4. "But me, my covenant is with you; you will be the ancestor of many nations.
5. And because I have made you the ancestor of many nations, your name will no longer be Abram but Abraham.
6. I will make you very fertile. I will produce nations from you, and kings will come from you.
7. I will set up my covenant with you and your descendants after you in every generation as an enduring covenant. I will be your God and your descendants’ God after you.
8. I will give you and your descendants the land in which you are immigrants, the whole land of Canaan, as an enduring possession. And I will be their God."
9. God said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants in every generation.
10. This is my covenant that you and your descendants must keep: Circumcise every male.
11. You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it will be a symbol of the covenant between us.
12. On the eighth day after birth, every male in every generation must be circumcised, including those who are not your own children: those born in your household and those purchased with silver from foreigners.
13. Be sure you circumcise those born in your household and those purchased with your silver. Your flesh will embody my covenant as an enduring covenant.
