וְאֶתְּנָ֥ה בְרִיתִ֖י בֵּינִ֣י וּבֵינֶ֑ךָ וְאַרְבֶּ֥ה אוֹתְךָ֖ בִּמְאֹ֥ד מְאֹֽד׃
And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.’
Rashi on Genesis
ואתנה בריתי AND I WILL MAKE MY COVENANT — a covenant of love and a covenant regarding the land — to give it to you as an inheritance through your observance of this precept.
Sforno on Genesis
ואתנה בריתי ביני ובינך, it is on this basis that I will establish My covenant between Me and between you. להיות לך לאלוהים ולזרעך אחריך, so that you will teach your descendants the lesson you have absorbed about Me.
Radak on Genesis
ואתנה ... וארבה אותך, you should not think that on account of the circumcision your future descendants will be fewer because your reproductive organ has become weakened by the removal of the foreskin. On the contrary, I will multiply your seed.
