⁴² For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

²⁴ And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.

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,

⁵⁴ His help he has given to Israel, his servant, so that he might keep in mind his mercy to Abraham and his seed for ever,

⁵⁵ As he gave his word to our fathers.

²⁰ You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past.

⁸ He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

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;

¹¹ Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:

²⁷ Keep in mind your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, not looking at the hard heart of this people, or their evil-doing and their sin:

⁵ Not for your righteousness or because your hearts are upright are you going in to take their land; but because of the evil-doing of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and to give effect to his oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

¹³ Have in mind Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you gave your oath, saying, I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and all this land will I give to your seed, as I said, to be their heritage for ever.

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.

¹⁴ And the Lord had said to Abram, after Lot was parted from him, From this place where you are take a look to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west:

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.

¹⁷ Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.

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.
