Genesis 15:7New American Standard Bible 2020And He said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it.” See the chapter |
It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to take possession of their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and in order to confirm the oath which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
