Genesis 17:9 - 18:33

GenesisSteve Gregg
In this passage from Genesis, Abraham's covenant with God is emphasized as a defining feature of God's chosen people, rather than just biological lineage. The circumcision of every male child in Abraham's household is also stipulated as a sign of the covenant. The story of Yahweh's visit to Abraham and Sarah highlights Abraham's growing faith and his intercessory prayer for the city of Sodom. Despite his initially doubting God's power, Abraham's steadfast belief ultimately leads to God's mercy sparing the city.
