     | 1,839 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Seventeen. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

In the process, Abram’s name is changed and circumcision becomes a part of the agreement. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 17 God renews the covenant with Abram: changes ...read more
