And I'm gonna make a covenant with you and a bunch of cool things will happen, like you're gonna have kids and your descendants will number the stars and you can have all the land of Canaan forever, it's gonna be awesome. I'm paraphrasing, by the way, Thought Bubble. So God promised that Abram would have kids with his wife, even though the dude was already like ninety-nine, but there was a catch. This is my covenant which ye shall keep between me and you and thy seed after thee, every man child among you shall be circumcised. Keep it PG-13, Thought Bubble. Now that is asking a lot from a guy, especially a ninety-nine year old geezer like Abram living in a time before general anesthesia. But those were the terms of the deal, and in exchange, God had chosen Abraham and his descendants to be a great nation.
