Genesis 17:1-8

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 When Abram was 99 years old, the LORD appeared to him. He said to Abram, "I am God Almighty. Live in my presence with integrity.

2 I will give you my promise, and I will give you very many descendants."

3 Immediately, Abram bowed with his face touching the ground, and again God spoke to him,

4 "My promise is still with you. You will become the father of many nations.

5 So your name will no longer be Abram [Exalted Father], but Abraham [Father of Many] because I have made you a father of many nations.

6 I will give you many descendants. Many nations and kings will come from you.

7 I will make my promise to you and your descendants for generations to come as an everlasting promise. I will be your God and the God of your descendants.

8 I am also giving this land where you are living--all of Canaan--to you and your descendants as your permanent possession. And I will be your God."

New International Version NIV

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty ; walk before me faithfully and be blameless.

2 Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”

3 Abram fell facedown, and God said to him,

4 “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations.

5 No longer will you be called Abram ; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

6 I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.

7 I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

8 The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”
