1 When Abram was 99, the Lord appeared to him and told him, “I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and don't do wrong.2 I will make my agreement between me and you, and I will give you many, many descendants.”

3 Abram bowed down with his face to the ground, and God told him,4 “Listen! This is the agreement I'm making with you. You will be the father of many nations,5 so your name won't be Abram any longer. Instead, your name will be Abraham because I'm going to make you the father of many nations.6 I will make sure you have a large number of descendants. They will become many nations, and some of their kings will also come from your line.7 I promise to continue my agreement with you, and with your descendants who come after you, for generations to come. This is an eternal agreement. I will always be your God, and the God of your descendants.8 I will give you and your descendants the whole country of Canaan—where you've been living as a foreigner—as land to own forever, and I will be their God.”

Genesis 17: 1-8
