Abraham had to circumcise himself to show his loyalty to God.

God in return promised the land of Canaan to his descendants given him by Sarah (i.e. Isaac) and that both Isaac and Ishmael would father nations that would be as numerous as the stars in the sky or grains of sand on the ground.

What were the terms of the covenant God made with abraham?

Genesis:17:1-14: And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2: And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3: And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4: As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5: Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6: And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7: And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8: And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 9: And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10: This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11: And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. 12: And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. 13: He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. 14: And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

Did God tell Abraham to listen to his wife?

Yes, when Sarah saw Ishmael teasing Isaac, she asked Abraham to send Ishmael and his mother, Hagar, away. At first, Abraham did not want to, but God spoke to him, telling him to listen to Sarah's voice. This was the beginning of a fulfillment of a prophecy. Isaac would be the one through whom God's purpose would be fulfilled. The one through whom Messiah would come (Genesis 21:8-13)(Genesis 17:15-21/Genesis 25:5-9) who would provide a hope for ALL mankind, and benefit any who chose to accept it (Genesis 12:3/Galatians 3:14).

What was the agreement god made with Abraham called?

You will find this agreement (also called a covenant) principally at Genesis 22:15-18 (although there are several other references throughout Genesis about this pact between God and Abraham): And Jehovah's angel proceeded to call to Abraham the second time out of the heavens 16 and to say: "'By myself I do swear,' is the utterance of Jehovah, 'that by reason of the fact that you have done this thing and you have not withheld your son, your only one, 17 I shall surely bless you and I shall surely multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and like the grains of sand that are on the seashore; and your seed will take possession of the gate of his enemies. 18 And by means of your seed all nations of the earth will certainly bless themselves due to the fact that you have listened to my voice.'" There are a series of divine covenants in the Bible, and this is a great one to study because it will end up affecting all humankind, "all the nations of the earth." This Abrahamic Covenant is related to the covenant God made in Genesis 3:15 in the Garden of Eden, when He made an agreement to bring forth a Seed, or offspring, who would undo all the damage done by Satan the Devil, who is referred to as "the original serpent" in Revelation 12:9 (see also Romans 16:20 and 1 John 3:8). For Christians, the primary Seed is Jesus Christ, who came through the family line of Abraham. The blessings that result from the Abrahamic Covenant include the possibility of enjoying friendship with God as was the case with Abraham (James 2:23) and the restoration of Paradise (Psalm 37:29; Luke 23:43).
