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.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations aof you, and bkings shall come from you.
7 And I will aestablish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, bto be God to you and cyour descendants after you.
8 Also aI give to you and your descendants after you the land bin which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and cI will be their God.”
