# Covenant with Abraham
God made a covenant with Abraham (see: Genesis 12:1-3; 15:4-5; 17:1-8; 22:15-18).
God promised these things to Abraham:
2020-02-21 21:32:16 +00:00
* To make his descendants into a great nation.
2020-02-21 21:33:53 +00:00
* To make Abraham famous among all people.
* To bless the people who bless Abraham and his descendants.
* To curse the people who curse Abraham and his descendants.
* To bless all the people of the earth through Abraham.
* To give Abraham more descendants than can be counted.
* To give the land of Canaan to Abrahams descendants.
* To be the God of Abraham and his descendants.

God commanded Abraham and his descendants to keep his covenant. They were to circumcise every male child. This was a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham and his descendants (see: Genesis 17:9-14).
