Genesis 17:2-8
New American Standard Bible
3 Abram (C)fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a (D)multitude of nations.
5 No longer shall you be named [b]Abram,
But (E)your name shall be [c]Abraham;
For (F)I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and (G)kings will come from you. 7 I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your [d]descendants after you throughout their generations as an (H)everlasting covenant, (I)to be God to you and (J)to your [e]descendants after you. 8 And (K)I will give to you and to your [f]descendants after you the land where you live as a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and (L)I will be their God.”
