Genesis 17:2-6
English Standard Version
2 that I may make my covenant between me and you, and (A)may multiply you greatly.” 3 Then Abram (B)fell on his face. And God said to him, 4 “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be (C)the father of a multitude of nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram,[a] but (D)your name shall be Abraham,[b] (E)for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make (F)you into nations, and (G)kings shall come from you.
