Romans 9:4

who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,

that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God, in the world;

and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply thee very exceedingly.'

and thou hast said unto Pharaoh, Thus said Jehovah, My son, My first-born is Israel,

Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

and the priests have not been able to stand to minister because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house of Jehovah.

And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who are of Israel are these Israel;

for a holy people art thou to Jehovah thy God; on thee hath Jehovah thy God fixed, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the ground.

Sons ye are to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead;

for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.'

'And I have established My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee;

this is My covenant which ye keep between Me and you, and thy seed after thee: Every male of you is to be circumcised;

And he saith, 'Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.'

and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service;

And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, 'Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel,

and he taketh the Book of the Covenant, and proclaimeth in the ears of the people, and they say, 'All that which Jehovah hath spoken we do, and obey.'

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Write for thyself these words, for, according to the tenor of these words I have made with thee a covenant, and with Israel.'

And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;

And in the going in of Moses unto the tent of meeting to speak with Him -- he doth even hear the voice speaking unto him from off the mercy-seat which is upon the ark of the testimony, from between the two cherubs; and He speaketh unto him.

These are the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, apart from the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

'And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath;

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, thou art lying down with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My covenant which I made with it;

and she calleth the youth I-Chabod, saying, 'Honour hath removed from Israel,' because of the taking of the ark of God, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

'And on mount Sinai Thou hast come down, even to speak with them from the heavens, and Thou dost give to them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commands.

Be mindful of them, O my God, for the redeemed of the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.

So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy strength and Thine honour.

A Psalm of Asaph. Only -- good to Israel is God, to the clean of heart. And I -- as a little thing, My feet have been turned aside,

And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,

I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David My servant:

I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth from My lips I change not.

Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.

And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it with a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!

-- And thou, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, Seed of Abraham, My lover,

Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,

To thee no more is the sun for a light by day, And for brightness the moon giveth not light to thee, And Jehovah hath become to thee A light age-during, and thy God thy beauty.

With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way -- they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a father, And Ephraim -- My first-born is he.

A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah.

For this is the covenant that I make, With the house of Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me for a people.

'Thus said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season,

And I give to them My statutes, And my judgments I caused them to know, Which the man who doth -- liveth by them.

Because Israel is a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.

'Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.

He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,

And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of David His servant,

for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;

Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, 'Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;'

'Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed shall be blessed all the families of the earth;

And we to you do proclaim good news -- that the promise made unto the fathers,

much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God;

for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, 'Abba -- Father.'

For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself,

and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better promises hath been sanctioned,

and after the second vail a tabernacle that is called 'Holy of holies,'

only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances -- till the time of reformation imposed upon them.
