² and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'

² And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing.

¹⁶ And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is numbered;

¹⁸ In that day hath Jehovah made with Abram a covenant, saying, `To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Phrat,

⁹ `And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with your seed after you,

⁴ `I -- lo, My covenant `is' with thee, and thou hast become father of a multitude of nations;

⁵ and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made thee;

⁶ and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee become nations, and kings go out from thee.

¹⁷ that blessing I bless thee, and multiplying I multiply thy seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which `is' on the sea-shore; and thy seed doth possess the gate of his enemies;

⁸ He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

⁹ That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

¹⁰ And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

¹¹ Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'

¹⁷ and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

¹⁸ for if by law `be' the inheritance, `it is' no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant `it'.
