Génesis 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 ) .

Génesis 17:4 In-Context

2 Yo haré un pacto contigo, por medio del cual garantizo darte una descendencia incontable».

3 Al oír eso, Abram cayó rostro en tierra. Después Dios le dijo:

4 «Este es mi pacto contigo: ¡te haré el padre de una multitud de naciones!

5 Además, cambiaré tu nombre. Ya no será Abram, sino que te llamarás Abraham,
porque serás el padre de muchas naciones.

6 Te haré sumamente fructífero. Tus descendientes llegarán a ser muchas naciones, ¡y de ellos surgirán reyes!
