AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]. |
Bible Question (short): What does "blameless" refer to |
Question (full): How would Abraham understand "Walk before Me, and be blameless" in the context of Chapter 17? There is no record showing God gave any law or commands to Abraham in the past. Am I correct to associate it with the circumcision required of Abraham and his descendants (V10) by God in keeping His covenant that they may be blameless? Thank you. Azure |
