1 When Abram was 99 years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, |I am the sovereign God. Walk before me and be blameless. 2 Then I will confirm my covenant between me and you, and I will give you a multitude of descendants.| 3 Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God said to him, 4 As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of a multitude of nations. 5 No longer will your name be Abram. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I will make you the father of a multitude of nations. Genesis 17:1-5, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
