LORD that spake unto her: thou art the God that lookest on me, for
she said: I have of a surety seen here the back parts of him that
seeth me. Wherefore she called the well, the well of the living

Chapter .xvij.
When Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to him
saying: I am the almighty God: walk before me and be uncorrupt.
And I will make my bond between thee and me, and will multiply
thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face. And God talked
moreover with him saying: I am, behold my testament is with thee,
that thou shalt be a father of many nations. Therefore shalt thou
no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham: for a
father of many nations have I made thee, and I will multiply thee
exceedingly, and will make nations of thee: yea and kings shall
spring out of thee. Moreover I will make my bond between me and
thee, and thy seed after thee, in their times to be an everlasting
testament, so that I will be God unto thee and to thy seed after
thee.
