1:28 Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the
fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves
on the ground.
3:16 To the woman he said,
"I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you" (Thus the man must rule over the woman).
17:1 walk before me and be blameless.
17:3 and Elohim said to him,
4 "As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.
5 No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you
a father of many nations.
6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.
7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your
descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your and your descendants'
Elohim that comes after you.
8 The whole land of Canaan, where you are now an alien, I will give as an everlasting
possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their Elohim."
9 Elohim said to Abraham, "As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your
descendants after you for the generations to come.
10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are
to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised.
11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me
and you.
12 For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be
circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a
foreigner—those who are not your offspring.
13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be
circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant.
14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off
from his people; he has broken my covenant."
