“I will (a)establish My (A)covenant between Me and you,
And I will (B)multiply you exceedingly.”
3 Abram (C)fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying,
4
“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a (D)multitude of nations.
5
“No longer shall your name be called (b)Abram,
But (E)your name shall be (c)Abraham;
For (F)I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
