The Lord was standing there beside him, saying, ‘I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your offspring the land on which you are lying.
He said to me, “I will make you fruitful and numerous; I will make many nations come from you, and I will give this land as a permanent possession to your future descendants.”
and I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them from that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey #– #the territory of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘I give this land to your offspring, from the Brook of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates:
Joseph said to his brothers, ‘I am about to die, but God will certainly come to your aid and bring you up from this land to the land he swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.’
Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel #– #you swore to them by yourself and declared, “I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and will give your offspring all this land that I have promised, and they will inherit it for ever.” ’
