God said, “I am __God__ Almighty. I will make a __covenant__ with you.” Then __Abram__ bowed to the ground. God also told Abram, “You will be the __father of many nations__. I will give you and your __descendants__ the land of __Canaan__ as their possession and __I will be their God__ forever. You must __circumcise every male in your family__.” 

於是亚伯兰娶了夏甲，夏甲生了儿子，亚伯兰给他起名叫以实玛利。亚伯兰请神祝福以实玛利。神说:「我会祝福他，但以实玛利不是我所应许的儿子。我不会与他立约。」

* __father of many nations__ - Abram would have many descendants, and they would have their own lands and rule themselves. They and others would remember that Abram was their ancestor and would honor him.
* __I will be their God__ - Another way to say this is, "I will be the God that they will worship."
* __every male in your family__ - This could be translated as, "every boy and man in your family." This included Abram's servants and his descendants.
