1. And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me and be thou perfect.
2. And I will make my covenant between me and thee and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3. And Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
4. Behold my covenant with thee: Thou shalt be a father of many Gentiles.
5. Neither shall thy name any longer be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many Gentiles have I made thee.
6. And I will multiply thee exceeding, and I will make Gentiles of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
8. And I will give unto thee and to thy seed after thee, the land in which thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting inheritance; and I will be their God.
9. And God said again unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.
10. This shall be my covenant, which ye shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be a token of the covenant between me and you.
