Genesis 17:1

The Sign of the Covenant

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord ^aappeared to Abram and said to him, ^b“I am Almighty God; ^cwalk before Me and be ^dblameless.

2 And I will make My ^acovenant between Me and you, and ^bwill multiply you exceedingly.”

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

4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a ^afather of many nations.

5 No longer shall ^ayour name be called Abram, but your name shall be² Abraham; ^bfor I have made you a father of³ many nations.
