Genesis 17:4-8
English Standard Version Anglicised
4 “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be (A)the father of a multitude of nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram,[a] but (B)your name shall be Abraham,[b] (C)for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make (D)you into nations, and (E)kings shall come from you. 7 And I will (F)establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, (G)to be God to you and to your offspring after you. 8 And (H)I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and (I)I will be their God.”
