1 Abram was ninety-nine years old when the Lord appeared to him again and said, “I am God All-Powerful. If you obey me and always do right,
2 I will keep my solemn promise to you and give you more descendants than can be counted.”
3 Abram bowed with his face to the ground, and God said:
4-5 I promise that you will be the father of many nations. That's why I now change your name from Abram to Abraham.
