16 and said, ^h“By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely ⁱbless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring ^jas the stars of heaven and as the ^ksand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his¹ enemies, 18 ^land in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”

7 The Lord, the God of heaven, ^vwho took me from my father’s house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, ^w‘To your offspring I will give this land,’ he will ^xsend his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

3 ^fSojourn in this land, and ^gI will be with you and will ^hbless you, ⁱfor to you and to your offspring I will give all these lands, and I will establish ^jthe oath that I swore to Abraham your father.

24 And Joseph said to his brothers, ^o“I am about to die, but ^pGod will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land that he ^qswore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

8 See, I have set the land before you. Go in and take possession of the ^cland that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them and to their offspring after them.’

6 ^hBe strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I ⁱswore to their fathers to give them.
