Genesis 17:1-4
Excerpted from: The Night to be Much Observed

It's interesting to notice something here—and that is God's foresight. And, I might add here, also His plan. Remember that Abraham didn't have a child yet. But already God is planning a discipline that He is going to put the descendants of Abraham [through], in which they would be subject to others. But also planned was their release from that subjugation, the destruction of the Amorites under Joshua, and the inheritance of the Land. What God is showing is that the events of the exodus were part of a much larger plan, which God inaugurated through Abraham and then continued through Isaac, Jacob, Joseph and Moses. So let's go to chapter 17, where the real covenant was made with Abram.

Genesis 17:1-2
Excerpted from: The Jerusalem Council's Conclusion

And then in the next several verses, God elucidates or elaborates on what it is that He will do for them under this covenant. Generally, if you want just the two bullet points about what was required of each party: what was required of the sons of Abraham, for those who were circumcised under the covenant was what is in verse 1: walk before Me and be blameless. What was required of God: I will make My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly and give you all these blessings that He elucidates later on.
