Foundest

Now the Lord said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;

Then he believed in the Lord; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.

He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who will do all My will.’

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,

By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was offering up his only begotten son;

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

Madest

The Lord

appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the Lord who had appeared to him.

On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying,
“To your descendants I have given this land,
From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates:

I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.

and said, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son,

but because the Lord loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the Lord brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

It is not for your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart that you are going to possess their land, but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord your God is driving them out before you, in order to confirm the oath which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

He has remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

To show mercy toward our fathers,

And to remember His holy covenant,

The canaanites

On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying,
“To your descendants I have given this land,
From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates:

So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

“When the Lord your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger than you,

Now it came about when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland and on all the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, heard of it,

to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

Hast performed

You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time and say to him, ‘I declare this day to the Lord

my God that I have entered the land which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’

So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Thus the land had rest from war.

So the Lord gave Israel all the land which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they possessed it and lived in it.

“Now behold, today I am going the way of all the earth, and you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one word of all the good words which the Lord your God spoke concerning you has failed; all have been fulfilled for you, not one of them has failed.

And He brought forth His people with joy,
His chosen ones with a joyful shout.

Righteous

“God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent;

Has He said, and will He not do it?

Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

They will still

yield fruit in old age;

They shall be full of sap and very green,

in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised

long ages ago,

so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac.
