^7 (A)Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, ^(B)“To your ^[a]descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an ^(C)altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

¹⁷ Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

⁷ Then He said to him, “I am the Lord, who ^(A)brought you out of ^(B)Ur of the Chaldeans, ^(C)to give you this land to inherit it.”

¹⁸ On the same day the Lord ^(A)made a covenant with Abram, saying:

^(B)“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates—

⁸ Also ^(A)I give to you and your descendants after you the land ^(B)in^[a] which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and ^(C)I will be their God.”

⁴ Then the Lord said to him, ^(A)“This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’ ^(B)I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.”

⁵ And God gave him no inheritance in it, not even enough to set his foot on. But even when Abraham had no child, ^(A)He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him.
