Genesis 17:1-7 ▼

1 Now it happened that when Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; Walk before Me and be blameless,

2 so that I may confirm My covenant between Me and you, And that I may multiply you exceedingly.”

3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,

4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.

5 And no longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

6 And I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will go forth from you.

7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your seed after you.
