³ And you are to come to him who is priest at that time, and say to him, I give witness today before the Lord your God, that I have come into the land which the Lord made an oath to our fathers to give us.

⁸ And to you and to your seed after you, I will give the land in which you are living, all the land of Canaan for an eternal heritage; and I will be their God.

¹⁵ Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name.

²¹ And having a great priest over the house of God,

²⁶ It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

¹⁶ For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

¹⁷ So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;

¹⁸ So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

⁷² To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,

⁷³ The oath which he made to Abraham, our father,

⁹ The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

¹⁰ And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

¹⁷ Then the two men, between whom the argument has taken place, are to come before the Lord, before the priests and judges who are then in power;

³ Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;

⁵ You, as living stones, are being made into a house of the spirit, a holy order of priests, making those offerings of the spirit which are pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.
