Acts 7:5New Messianic Version BibleAnd he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not [so much as] to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when [as yet] he had no child. See the chapter |
In the same day the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) made a covenant with Avram (Exalted Father; Father Of Elevation), saying, Unto youri seed have I given this land, from the river of Mitzrayim [Egypt] (Double Distress or Double Stronghold, Black Land) unto the great river, the river Euphrates (the break forth, gush):
And found his heart faithful before youi, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Kena’ani [Merchant], the Hitti [Terrorists], the Emori [Highlanders], and the P’rizi [Dwellers in Unwalled Towns], and the Y’vusi [Threshers, Trampled Under Foot], and the Girgashi [Dwelling on Clay Soil], to give [it, I say], to his seed, and have performed youi words; for youi [are] righteous:
And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto him, This [is] the land which I swore unto Avraham [Exalted Father], unto Yitz’khak [Laughter], and unto Ya’akov [Heal of God], saying, I will give it unto youi seed: I have caused youi to see [it] with youi eyes, but youi shall not go over there.
Not for youi righteousness, or for the uprightness of youi heart, do youi go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] does drive them out from before youi, and that he may perform the word which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) swore unto youi fathers, Avraham [Exalted Father], Yitz’khak [Laughter], and Ya’akov [Heal of God].
And Sarai (My Princess) said unto Avram (Exalted Father; Father Of Elevation), Behold now, the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has restrained me from bearing: I pray youi, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Avram (Exalted Father; Father Of Elevation) listened to the voice of Sarai (My Princess).
