⁴³ So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

²⁷ I will send my fear before you, putting to flight all the people to whom you come; all those who are against you will go in flight, turning their backs before you.

²⁸ I will send hornets before you, driving out the Hivite and the Canaanite and the Hittite before your face.

²⁹ I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.

³⁰ Little by little I will send them away before you, till your numbers are increased and you take up your heritage in the land.

³¹ I will let the limits of your land be from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the waste land to the river Euphrates: for I will give the people of those lands into your power; and you will send them out before you.

⁴ And may God give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed, so that the land of your wanderings, which God gave to Abraham, may be your heritage.

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

⁴² By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.

⁴³ Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.

⁴⁴ But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

⁴⁵ And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.

³ For they did not make the land theirs by their swords, and it was not their arms which kept them safe; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you had pleasure in them.

⁴ And the Lord said to him, This is the land about which I made an oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: now I have let you see it with your eyes, but you will not go in there.

¹⁴ When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;

³¹ For you are about to go over Jordan to take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, and it will be your resting-place.

⁸ And I have come down to take them out of the hands of the Egyptians, guiding them out of that land into a good land and wide, into a land flowing with milk and honey; into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

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.

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;

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;

¹³ And he said to Abram, Truly, your seed will be living in a land which is not theirs, as servants to a people who will be cruel to them for four hundred years;

¹⁴ But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.

¹⁵ As for you, you will go to your fathers in peace; at the end of a long life you will be put in your last resting-place.

¹⁶ And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.

¹⁷ Then when the sun went down and it was dark, he saw a smoking fire and a flaming light which went between the parts of the bodies.

¹⁸ In that day the Lord made an agreement with Abram, and said, To your seed have I given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

¹⁹ The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,

²⁰ And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,

²¹ And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.

⁷ And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.
