4. “My promise is still with you. You will become the father of many nations.
5. So your name will no longer be Abram [Exalted Father], but Abraham [Father of Many] because I have made you a father of many nations.
6. I will give you many descendants. Many nations and kings will come from you.
7. I will make my promise to you and your descendants for generations to come as an everlasting promise. I will be your God and the God of your descendants.
8. I am also giving this land where you are living—all of Canaan—to you and your descendants as your permanent possession. And I will be your God.”
9. God also said to Abraham, “You and your descendants in generations to come are to be faithful to my promise.
