The Promise Reaffirmed to Isaac

Live in the land that I tell you about; ³ stay in this land as an alien, and I will be with you and bless you.^(C) For I will give all these lands to you and your offspring,^(D) and I will confirm the oath that I swore to your father Abraham.^{(E) 4} I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed^[a] by your offspring,^{(F) 5} because Abraham listened to me and kept my mandate, my commands, my statutes, and my instructions.”^(G)
