1And when AbramH87 wasH1961 ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 old and nineH8672, Jehovah appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am GodH410 AlmightyH7706; walkH1980 before me, and beH1961 thou perfectH8549. 2And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966. 3And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talked with him, sayingH559, 4As for me, behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt beH1961 the fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471. 5Neither shall thy nameH8034 any more beH1961 calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall beH1961 AbrahamH85; for the fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471 have I madeH5414 thee. 6And I will makeH5414 thee exceeding fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall comeH3318 out of thee. 7And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 between me and thee and thy seedH2233 after thee throughout their generationsH1755 for an everlasting covenantH1285, to beH1961 a GodH430 unto thee and to thy seedH2233 after thee. 8And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 after thee, the landH776 of thy sojourningsH4033, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlasting possessionH272; and I will beH1961 their GodH430.

9And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, And as for thee, thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285, thou, and thy seedH2233 after thee throughout their generationsH1755.
