Genesis 17:1-6 ▼

1 And Abram is a son of ninety-nine years, and YHWH appears to Abram, and says to him, “I [am] God Almighty, habitually walk before Me, and be perfect;

2 and I give My covenant between Me and you, and multiply you very exceedingly.”

3 And Abram falls on his face, and God speaks with him, saying,

4 “I—behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you have become father of a multitude of nations;

5 and your name is no longer called Abram, but your name has been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made you;

6 and I have made you exceedingly fruitful, and made you become nations, and kings go out from you.
