[2]And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”
[4]“As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
[5]No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
[7]And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

[18]In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”
