⁴ And said to me, Truly, I will make you fertile and give you increase and will make of you a great family of nations: and I will give this land to your seed after you to be their heritage for ever.

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.

¹¹ And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;

¹⁴ And I will let the fate of my people Israel be changed, and they will be building up again the waste towns and living in them; they will again be planting vine-gardens and taking the wine for their drink; and they will make gardens and get the fruit of them.

¹⁵ And I will have them planted in their land, and never again will they be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.

⁸ When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel.

¹¹ So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.

⁷ And the children of Israel were fertile, increasing very greatly in numbers and in power; and the land was full of them.

²⁷ And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.

³ And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:

¹² And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.

¹³ And he saw the Lord by his side, saying, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: I will give to you and to your seed this land on which you are sleeping.

¹⁴ Your seed will be like the dust of the earth, covering all the land to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south: you and your seed will be a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.

¹⁵ And truly, I will be with you, and will keep you wherever you go, guiding you back again to this land; and I will not give you up till I have done what I have said to you.

³ And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples.

⁴ I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;

¹⁷ That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;

¹³ He who comes to birth in your house and he who is made yours for a price, all are to undergo circumcision; so that my agreement may be marked in your flesh, an agreement for all time.

¹⁵ For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your seed for ever.

¹⁶ And I will make your children like the dust of the earth, so that if the dust of the earth may be numbered, then will your children be numbered.

² And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:
