1 When Abram was 99 years old, Adonai appeared to Abram, and He said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Continually walk before Me and you will be blameless.
2 My heart’s desire is to make My covenant between Me and you, and then I will multiply you exceedingly much.”
3 Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,
4 “For My part, because My covenant is with you, you will be the father of a multitude of nations.
5 No longer will your name be Abram, but your name will be Abraham, because I make you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 Yes, I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings will come forth from you.
