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.”
