^5 (A)It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you go in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God drives them out from before you, and that He may ^[a]fulfill the ^(B)word which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

^5 (A)not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through ^(B)the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

⁴ And ^(A)I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; ^(B)and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;

⁸ Also ^(A)I give to you and your descendants after you the land ^(B)in^[a] which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and ^(C)I will be their God.”

⁷ Then He said to him, “I am the Lord, who ^(A)brought you out of ^(B)Ur of the Chaldeans, ^(C)to give you this land to inherit it.”

¹⁵ for all the land which you see ^(A)I give to you and ^(B)your ^[a]descendants forever.

^7 (A)Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, ^(B)“To your ^[a]descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an ^(C)altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

^14 (A)But I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.

^13 (A)And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: ^(B)“I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; ^(C)the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.
