‘As for me, here is my covenant with you: you will become the father of many nations. Your name will no longer be Abram;[a] your name will be Abraham,[b] for I will make you the father of many nations.(A) I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you. I will confirm my covenant that is between me and you and your future offspring throughout their generations. It is a permanent covenant(B) to be your God and the God of your offspring after you.(C) And to you and your future offspring[c](D) I will give the land where you are residing – all the land of Canaan – as a permanent possession,(E) and I will be their God.’
