1. And Abram was ninety-nine years old, when Jehovah appeared to Abram, and said to him, I am the Almighty ·God walk before my face, and be perfect.
2. And I will set my covenant between me and thee, and will very greatly multiply thee.
3. And Abram fell on his face; and God talked with him, saying,
4. It is I: behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
5. And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee.
6. And I will make thee exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to thee, and to thy seed after thee.
