Genesis 17:1-4

1When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him. The Lord said, ‘I am God Almighty. In all your life, obey me and do nothing wrong.

2Then I will certainly keep my covenant with you. I will make your descendants grow in number.’

3Abram fell down so that his face touched the ground. God said to him,

4‘As for me, this is my covenant that I have made with you. You will become the ancestor of many nations of people.
