⁷ And the Lord ^(A)appeared to Abram and said, “^(B)To your ^[a]descendants I will give this land.” So he built ^(C)an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him.

¹⁸ On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying,

⁷ I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your ^[a]descendants after you throughout their generations as an ^(A)everlasting covenant, ^(B)to be God to you and ^(C)to your ^[b]descendants after you.

³ Live for a time in this land and ^(A)I will be with you and ^(B)bless you, for ^(C)to you and to your ^[a]descendants I will give all these lands, and I will establish ^(D)the oath which I swore to your father Abraham. ^4 (E)I will multiply your ^[b]descendants as the stars of heaven, and will give your ^[c]descendants all these lands; and ^(F)by your ^[d]descendants all the nations of the earth ^[e]shall be blessed,

⁴ May He also give you the ^(A)blessing of Abraham, to you and to your ^[a]descendants with you, so that you may ^(B)possess the land where you ^(C)live as a stranger, which God gave to Abraham.”

¹³ Then behold, ^(A)the Lord was standing ^[a]above it and said, “I am the Lord, ^(B)the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give ^(C)to you and to ^(D)your ^[b]descendants.
