1 When Abram (exalted father) was ninety-nine years old, the LORD {YHWH} appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty {El-Shaddai}. Walk before Me and be blameless. 2 I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram (exalted father) fell facedown, and God {Elohim} said to him, 4 “As for Me, this is My covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. 5 No longer will you be called Abram (exalted father), but your name will be Abraham (father of many), for I have made you a father of many nations 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you. 7 I will establish My covenant as an everlasting covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you, to be your God {Elohim} and the God of your descendants after you.
