¹⁵ All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring^[a] forever.^(A)

¹⁸ On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram^(A) and said, “To your descendants I give this land,^(B) from the Wadi^[a] of Egypt^(C) to the great river, the Euphrates^(D)—

⁴ Then the Lord said to him, “This is the land I promised on oath^(A) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob^(B) when I said, ‘I will give it^(C) to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross^(D) over into it.”

⁵ He gave him no inheritance here,^(A) not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land,^(B) even though at that time Abraham had no child.

¹⁶ The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed.^(A) Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,”^[a](B) meaning one person, who is Christ.
