It’s the Covenant he made with Abraham,

the same oath he swore to Isaac,

The very statute he established with Jacob,

the eternal Covenant with Israel,

Namely, “I give you the land.

Canaan is your hill-country inheritance.”

When they didn’t count for much,

a mere handful, and strangers at that,

the covenant that he made with Abraham,

his sworn promise to Isaac,

which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

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

as your portion for an inheritance.”

When they were few in number,

of little account, and sojourners in it,

the covenant he made with Abraham,

the oath he swore to Isaac.

He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

“To you I will give the land of Canaan

as the portion you will inherit.”

When they were but few in number,

few indeed, and strangers in it,

CSBChristian Standard Bible

the covenant he made with Abraham,

swore to Isaac,

and confirmed to Jacob as a decree

and to Israel as a permanent covenant:

“I will give the land of Canaan to you

as your inherited portion.”

When they were few in number,

very few indeed,

and resident aliens in Canaan,

NLTNew Living Translation

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.
