⁷ He also said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”^(A)

⁸ But he said, “Lord God, how can I know^(B) that I will possess it?”

⁸ And to you and your future offspring^(A) I will give the land where you are residing—all the land of Canaan—as an eternal possession,^(B) and I will be their God.”
