Genesis 17:4-8
Contemporary English Version
4-5 (A) I promise that you will be the father of many nations. So now I'm changing your name from Abram to Abraham.[a] 6 I will give you a lot of descendants, and they will become great nations. Some of them will even be kings.
7 (B) I will always keep the promise I have made to you and your descendants, because I am your God and their God. 8 (C) I will give you and them the land in which you are now a foreigner. I will give the whole land of Canaan to your family forever, and I will be their God.
