⁵⁵ As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed -- to the age.'

¹⁹ and God saith, `Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to his seed after him.

⁶ O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

⁷ He `is' Jehovah our God, In all the earth `are' His judgments.

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 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.

¹² If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the throne for thee.

¹⁴ This `is' My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I have desired it.

¹⁵ Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy `with' bread,

¹⁶ And her priests I clothe `with' salvation, And her pious ones do sing aloud.

²⁸ As regards, indeed, the good tidings, `they are' enemies on your account; and as regards the choice -- beloved on account of the fathers;

²⁹ for unrepented of `are' the gifts and the calling of God;

³ And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all families of the ground.'

¹⁸ and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth, because that thou hast hearkened to My voice.'

⁴ and I have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth;

¹⁴ and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in thee and in thy seed.

¹⁶ and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, `And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,' which is Christ;

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,
