Genesis 17:1-9

1And AbramH87 wasH1961 ninety-nine yearsH8141 old, when Jehovah appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 to him, I [am] the AlmightyH7706 1GodH410: walkH1980 before my faceH6440, and beH1961 perfectH8549.

2And I will setH5414 my covenantH1285 between me and thee, and will veryH3966 greatly multiplyH7235 thee.

3And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440; and 2GodH430 talked with him, sayingH559,

4It is I: behold, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt beH1961 a fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471.

5And thy nameH8034 shall no more beH1961 calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall beH1961 AbrahamH85; for a fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471 have I madeH5414 thee.

6And I will makeH5414 thee exceedinglyH3966 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 in their generationsH1755, for an everlasting covenantH1285, to beH1961 a 3GodH430 to thee, and to thy seedH2233 after thee.

8And I giveH5414 to thee, and to thy seedH2233 after thee, the landH776 of thy sojourning, all the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlasting possessionH272; and I will beH1961 a 4GodH430 to them.

9And 5GodH430 saidH559 to AbrahamH85, And [as for] thee, thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285, thou and thy seedH2233 after thee in their generationsH1755.
