This is the covenant he made with Abraham

and the oath he swore to Isaac.

He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:

“I will give you the land of Canaan

as your special possession.”

He said this when they were few in number,

a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

that he made with Abraham,

and by his oath swore to Isaac.

He then confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

as the allotment that is your inheritance.”

When they were few in number—

a trifle—and were sojourners in it,

KJV 1900King James Version

Which covenant he made with Abraham,

And his oath unto Isaac;

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,

And to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,

The lot of your inheritance:

When they were but a few men in number;

Yea, very few, and strangers in it.
