Abraham’s Covenant“Go from your country and your kindred and
your father’s house to the land (Canaan) that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves.”

CircumcisionThe Hebrew word for “making” a
covenant is literally to “cut” a covenant.“Every male among you shall be
circumcised. You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. Throughout your generations every male among you shall be circumcised when he is eight days old.” – Genesis 17:10
“So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant.” – Genesis 17:13

Sarai“The LORD has prevented me from bearing
children. Go into my slave-girl (Hagar); it may be that I shall obtain children by her.” (Genesis 16:2)
Hagar “looked with contempt upon her mistress” and so “Sarai dealt harshly with her” after Abram refused to get involved.

HagarRan away to a spring of waterGod’s angel tells her, “I will so greatly multiply
your offspring that they cannot be counted for multitude….you shall call him Ishmael…He shall be a wild ass of a man, with his hand against everyone and everyone’s hand against him; and he shall live at odds with all his kin” (Genesis 16: 10-12).
“As for Ishmael, I have heard you; I will bless him and make him fruitful and exceedingly numerous…but my covenant I will establish with Isaac” (Genesis 17:20-21).
