Gn 17,1-8 - Všemohúci Boh, hebr. ,El-Šaddaj', označuje Boha, ktorý sám sebe stačí a ktorý môže všetko (Ex 6,2). Boh pripomína svoju zmluvu, ale už aj od Abrama žiada okrem dokonalého života a vernosti – chodievaj predo mnou – obriezku, ktorá bude vonkajším znakom zmluvy. Obriezka sama nie je zmluvou, ale len znakom. – Boh mení Abramovo meno na Abrahám – otec množstva. Aj táto zmena je znakom, že Boh svoje prisľúbenie o Abrahámovom potomstve splní.
Gn 17,9-14 - Obriezka jestvovala už pred Abrahámom. Teraz dostáva iný zmysel (Ex 4,25; Joz 5,2), náboženský charakter. V Izraeli od čias Abrahámových bola vonkajším znakom zmluvy medzi Bohom a Izraelitmi, mala pripomínať povinnosti a záväzky, ktoré mali Izraeliti voči Bohu a bola upamätovaním na vyvolenie Božie: z potomstva Abrahámovho narodí sa Mesiáš. Len tí budú účastní na požehnaní Božom, čo budú mať obriezku, len tí budú vlastníkmi zasľúbenej zeme, čo budú nosiť toto viditeľné znamenie – ostatní budú vytvorení, vyobcovaní spomedzi Božieho ľudu. Obriezka sama v sebe bola len znamením, teda nespôsobovala sama zo seba ospravedlnenie, no povzbudzovala človeka na vzbudenie viery, nádeje a lásky k Bohu, oživovala nádej v budúceho Mesiáša. Takto obriezka bola predobrazom sviatosti krstu (Kol 2,11). Obriezkou sa stával starozákonný človek členom Božieho ľudu a krstom sa stávame členmi kráľovstva Kristovho, sv. Cirkvi. Boh pozdvihuje známy obrad na nové označenie, ako to bolo pri zmluve s Noemom: dúhu dal na znamenie, že viac nebude potopy, tak tu obriezku (poznali ju Edomčania, Amončania, Moabčania, Arabi, ba aj Egypťania) nariaďuje nosiť ako znamenie svojej zmluvy s Abrahámom a jeho potomstvom, a takto sa aj obriezka stáva jednou z podmienok zmluvy. Obriezku vykonával obyčajne otec rodiny, neskoršie osobitný skúsený muž, ktorého volali mohel. Robili ju ostrým kamenným nožom.
Gn 17,15 - Boh mení aj meno Saraiino. Doteraz sa volala Sarai (t. j. Pani moja, Kráľovná moja), nabudúce jej meno bude len Sára, t. j. Pani, Kráľovná, lebo bude matkou vyvoleného národa a matkou mnohých kniežat a kráľov (6.16). Táto zmena je teda obdobná so zmenou mena Abrahámovho. Mená budú označovať splnenie Božieho prísľubu.
Gn 17,16-22 - Boh udáva dôvod, prečo zmenil meno Saraiino, a spolu zvestuje Abrahámovi, že prisľúbený dedič bude syn, ktorého mu porodí Sára (15, 4). Abrahámov smiech je alúziou na Izákovo meno. Bola to teda veľká skúška Abrahámovej viery. Požehnania nebudú patriť Izmaelovi, ale Izákovi, ktorý bude dedičom Božích prísľubov.
