Exodus 6:8

And I will bring you in unto the land ,.... The land of Canaan:

concerning the which I did swear ; or lift up my hand F1 נשאתי את ידי "levavi manum meam", Pagninus, Montanus, Munster. , which was a gesture used in swearing, Genesis 14:22 .

to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob ; see Exodus 6:4 ,

and I will give it you for an heritage ; to be possessed as an inheritance by them, so long as they were obedient to his will, or until the Messiah came:

I am the Lord ; whose counsels of old are faithfulness and truth; whose promises are yea and amen; whose gifts and calling are without repentance; and who is able also to perform whatever he has said he will do.
