4“As for me, this is my covenant with you. You will be the father of many nations.
5“You will not be called Abram anymore. Your name will be Abraham, because I have made you a father of many nations. 6I will give you many children. Nations will come from you. And kings will come from you.
7“I will make my covenant with you. It will last forever. It will be between me and you and your children after you for all time to come. I will be your God. And I will be the God of all of your family after you.
8“You are now living in Canaan as an outsider. But I will give you the whole land of Canaan. You will own it forever. So will your children after you. And I will be their God.”

And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.
