Genesis 17:2

Verse 2 of 27. The 17th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

1When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and be blameless.

2I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

3Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

4“As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

5Your name will no more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

6I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.
