Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
10 This [is] covenant my which you will keep between me and between you and between offspring your after you they will be circumcised of you every male.
This is my covenant, which you must keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you must be circumcised.

Then Abraham bowed low with his face to the ground, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Can a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? How can Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a son?”
18 And he said Abraham to God if Ishmael he will live before you.

21 And covenant my I will establish with Isaac whom she will bear to you Sarah to the time this in the year following.
But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time in the next year.”
