3 Então Abrão prostrou-se com o rosto ao chão, e Deus falou com ele, dizendo:

4 Quanto a mim, este é o meu pacto contigo: Serás pai de multidão de nações:

5 E não se chamará mais teu nome Abrão, mas sim que será teu nome Abraão, porque te pus por pai de multidão de nações.

6 E te multiplicarei muito em grande maneira, e te porei em nações, e reis sairão de ti.

7 E estabelecerei meu pacto entre mim e ti, e tua descendência depois de ti em suas gerações, por aliança perpétua, para ser para ti por Deus, e à tua descendência depois de ti.
