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

¹⁸ On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I give this land to your offspring,^(A) from the Brook of Egypt^(B) to the great river, the Euphrates River:

⁷ The Lord, the God of heaven,^(A) who took me from my father’s house and from my native land,^(B) who spoke to me and swore to me, ‘I will give this land to your offspring’^[a](C)—he will send his angel before you,^(D) and you can take a wife for my son from there.

¹² I will give to you the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac.^(A) And I will give the land to your future descendants.”
