When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, "I am the Almighty God. Obey me and always do what is right.

"I make this covenant with you: I promise that you will be the ancestor of many nations.

Your name will no longer be Abram, but Abraham, because I am making you the ancestor of many nations.
