4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you,
And you will be the father of a (A)multitude of nations.
5 And no longer shall your name be called [a]Abram,
But (B)your name shall be [b]Abraham;
For (C)I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.
6 And I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and (D)kings will go forth from you.

Legacy Standard Bible
17 indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly (A)multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as (B)the sand which is on the seashore; and (C)your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. 18 (D)In your [a]seed all the nations of the earth shall [b]be blessed, because you have (E)listened to My voice.” 19 (F)So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and walked together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived at Beersheba.
20 Now it happened after these things, that it was told to Abraham, saying, “Behold, (G)Milcah [c]also has borne children to your brother Nahor: 21 Uz his firstborn and Buz his brother and Kemuel the father of Aram 22 and Chesed and Hazo and Pildash and Jidlaph and Bethuel.” 23 And Bethuel [d]was the father of (H)Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, [e]also bore Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.
