And I will multiply your covenant through me and through you exceedingly. Let there be no blame found against me. He promised to multiply himself according to the word, and this is no wonder. For other nations have also become many. And Abraham fell upon his face. They are rejoicing and being multiplied just as the patriarch. And God spoke to him, saying: 'And behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of a multitude of nations. And your name shall not be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, because a father of many nations I have made you. And I will multiply you exceedingly, exceedingly.' Again, the Lord, after the falling, confirms the promise, saying to him that He will make a covenant with him; and he shall be a father of a multitude.
