Genèse 17:4-8
Nouvelle Edition de Genève – NEG1979
4 Voici mon alliance, que je fais avec toi. Tu deviendras père d’une multitude de nations. 5 On ne t’appellera plus Abram[a]; mais ton nom sera Abraham[b], car je te rends père d’une multitude de nations[c]. 6 Je te rendrai fécond à l’extrême, je ferai de toi des nations; et des rois sortiront de toi. 7 J’établirai mon alliance entre moi et toi, et tes descendants après toi, selon leurs générations: ce sera une alliance perpétuelle, en vertu de laquelle je serai ton Dieu et celui de ta postérité après toi. 8 Je te donnerai, et à tes descendants après toi, le pays que tu habites comme étranger, tout le pays de Canaan, en possession perpétuelle, et je serai leur Dieu.
