1. When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am the Almighty God. Obey me and always do what is right.
2. I will make my covenant with you and give you many descendants.”
3. Abram bowed down with his face touching the ground, and God said,
11-12. From now on you must circumcise every baby boy when he is eight days old, including slaves born in your homes and slaves bought from foreigners. This will show that there is a covenant between you and me.
