God Renewed the Covenant [05-03]
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.
