2 If you do this, I will prepare an agreement between us. I will promise to make your people a great nation.”
3 Then Abram bowed down before God. God said to him,
4 “This is my part of our agreement: I will make you the father of many nations.
5 I will change your name from Abram to Abraham, because I am making you the father of many nations.
6 I will give you many descendants. New nations and kings will come from you.
7 And I will prepare an agreement between me and you. This agreement will also be for all your descendants. It will continue forever. I will be your God and the God of all your descendants.
8 And I will give this land to you and to all your descendants. I will give you the land you are traveling through—the land of Canaan. I will give you this land forever, and I will be your God.”
