Genesis 15:7New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021Then he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.” See the chapter |
It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to occupy their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is dispossessing them before you, in order to fulfill the promise that the Lord made on oath to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
