Genesis 17:2-8

2My heart’s desire is to make My covenant between Me and you, and then I will multiply you exceedingly much.”

3Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,

4“For My part, because My covenant is with you, you will be the father of a multitude of nations.

5No longer will your name be Abram, but your name will be Abraham, because I make you the father of a multitude of nations.

6Yes, I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings will come forth from you.

7Yes, I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, in order to be your God and your seed’s God after you.

8I will give to you and to your seed after you the land where you are an outsider —the whole land of Canaan—as an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.”
