God’s Covenant with Abram^(A)

15 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram ^(B)in a vision, saying, ^(C)“Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your ^(D)shield, ^[a]your exceedingly ^(E)great reward.”

³ So He said, “I am God, ^(A)the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will ^(B)make of you a great nation there.

²⁰ And Moses said to the people, ^(A)“Do not fear; ^(B)for God has come to test you, and ^(C)that His fear may be before you, so that you may not sin.”

¹⁵ And he said, “Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat! Thus says the Lord to you: ^(A)‘Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, ^(B)for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

^17 (A)You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, ^(B)for the Lord is with you.”
