Genesis 17:1-6 ▼

1 When Abram was ninetie yere olde and nine, the Lorde appeared to hym, and sayde vnto hym: I am the almightie God, walke before me, and be thou perfect.

2 And I wyll make my couenaunt betweene me and thee, and wyll multiplie thee exceedyngly.

3 And Abram fell on his face, & God talked with hym, saying:

4 It is I, behold my couenaut 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 shalbe called Abraham: for a father of many nations haue I made thee.

6 I wyll make thee exceedyng fruitefull, and wyll make nations of thee, yea and kynges shall spryng out of thee.
