1
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.
2
And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will 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 father of many nations.
5
No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
6
I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.
