Genesis 17:4 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 17:4

As for me, behold, my covenant [is] with thee
Who was gracious to make it, faithful to keep it, and immutable in it, though Abram was but a man, and sinful:

and thou shalt be a father of many nations:
as he was of many Arabian nations, and of the Turks in the line of Ishmael; and of the Midianites, and others, in the line of his sons by Keturah; and of the Israelites in the line of Isaac, as well as of the Edomites in the line of Esau; and in a spiritual sense the father of all that believe, in all the nations of the world, circumcised or uncircumcised, as the apostle explains it, ( Romans 4:11 Romans 4:12 Romans 4:16-18 ) .

Genesis 17:4 In-Context

2 Und ich will meinen Bund zwischen mir und dir machen und ich will dich gar sehr mehren.
3 Da fiel Abram auf sein Angesicht. Und Gott redete weiter mit ihm und sprach:
4 Siehe, ich bin's und habe meinen Bund mit dir, und du sollst ein Vater vieler Völker werden.
5 Darum sollst du nicht mehr Abram heißen, sondern Abraham soll dein Name sein; denn ich habe dich gemacht zum Vater vieler Völker
6 und will dich gar sehr fruchtbar machen und will von dir Völker machen, und sollen auch Könige von dir kommen.
