Genesis 15:7The English Standar VersionAnd he said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." See the chapter |
Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
