Genesis 17:1

[Thirteen years after Ishmael's birth (Gen. 16:16; 17:1, 24), the Lord appeared to Abram again, repeating the promise that he would have an heir (Gen. 12:1–3; 13:14–17; 15:1, 4–5, 18–21) and instructs him about the covenant of circumcision.]
When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord (Yahweh) appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God Almighty (El Shaddai), walk before me (before my face) and be perfect. [The word perfect is used here in the plural, which reinforces that it applies to all areas of life.]
