² And the Lord appeared to him and said, Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I will tell you.

³ Dwell temporarily in this land, and I will be with you and will favor you with blessings; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

⁴ And I will make your descendants to multiply as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your posterity all these lands (kingdoms); and by your Offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, or by Him bless themselves,^(A)

⁵ For Abraham listened to and obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.

²⁴ And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will favor you with blessings and multiply your descendants for the sake of My servant Abraham.
