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.
