Genesis 17:1-9

1And when AbramH87 was ninetyH8673 yearsH8141 oldH1121 and nineH8672, the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to AbramH87, and saidH559 unto him, I am GodH410 AlmightyH7706; walkH1980 beforeH6440 meH413, and be thou perfectH8549.

2And I will makeH5414 my covenantH1285 betweenH996 meH5414 and thee, and will multiplyH7235 thee exceedinglyH3966.

3And AbramH87 fellH5307 on his faceH6440: and GodH430 talkedH1696 with him, sayingH559,

4As for meH589, beholdH2009, my covenantH1285 is with thee, and thou shalt be the fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471.

5NeitherH3808 shall thy nameH8034 anyH5750 moreH5750 be calledH7121 AbramH87, but thy nameH8034 shall be AbrahamH85; for the fatherH1 of a multitudeH1995 of nationsH1471 have I madeH5414 thee.

6And I will makeH5414 thee exceedingH3966 fruitfulH6509, and I will makeH5414 nationsH1471 of thee, and kingsH4428 shall comeH3318 outH3318 of thee.

7And I will establishH6965 my covenantH1285 betweenH996 meH310 and thee and thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee throughoutH1755 their generationsH1755 for an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285, to be a GodH430 unto thee and to thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee.

8And I will giveH5414 unto thee, and to thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, the landH776 of thy sojourningsH4033, allH3605 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, for an everlastingH5769 possessionH272; and I will be their GodH430.

9And GodH430 saidH559 unto AbrahamH85, And as for thee, thou shalt keepH8104 my covenantH1285, thou, and thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee throughoutH1755 their generationsH1755.
