Genesis 17:6

Verse 6 of 27. The 17th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.

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.

7I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your offspring after you.

8I will give to you, and to your offspring after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God.”

9God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations.

10This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.
