1 WHEN Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, I am the Almighty God; walk well before me, and be faultless. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and you and will multiply you exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying, 4 As for me, behold, I am establishing my covenant with you, and you shall be a father of many peoples. 5 Neither shall your name any more be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many peoples. 6 And I will make you fruitful, and multiply you exceedingly; and I will make you father of many nations, and kings shall come out of your loins. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, and I will be God to you and to your descendants after you. 8 And I will give to you, and your descendants after you, the land in which you sojourn, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting inheritance; and I will be their God.
