And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold,
my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name
any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have
I made thee. And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, And Kings
shall come out of thee. And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed
after thee in their generations to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
(Genesis 17:3-7)
