Genesis 17:5

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.”

9 And God said to Abraham: “As for you, ^ayou shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.
