1 And Abram shall be the son of ninety years and nine years: Jehovah shall be seen to Abram and will say to him, I am God Almighty; walk thou before me, and be complete. 2 And I will give my covenant between me and between thee, and I will multiply thee with might exceedingly. 3 And Abram will fall upon his face, and God will speak to him, saying, 4 I, behold my covenant with thee, thou being father of a multitude of nations. 5 And thy name shall no more be called Abram, and thy name shall be Abraham, for the father of a multitude of nations have I given thee. 6 And I made thee fruitful with might exceedingly, and I gave thee for nations, and kings shall come forth from thee. 7 And I set up my covenant between me and between thee, and between thy seed after thee to their generations for a covenant of eternity; to be a God to thee and to thy seed after thee. 8 And I gave to thee and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings with all the land of Canaan for an eternal possession; and I was God to them.
