On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying,“ I give this land to your offspring, from the Brook of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River:

当那日，耶和华与亚伯兰立约，说：“我已赐给你的后裔，从埃及河直到幼发拉底大河之地，

在那日，耶和华与亚伯兰立约，说：“我已赐给你的后裔这一片地，从埃及河直到大河，幼发拉底河，

在那日，耶和华与亚伯兰立约，说：“我已赐给你的后裔这一片地，从埃及河直到大河，幼发拉底河，

就在那天，耶和华跟亚伯兰立约，说：“我必将这片土地赐给你的后代，使他们得到从埃及河到幼发拉底河一带的土地，

就在那时候，耶和华与亚伯兰立约说：“我已经把这地赐给你的后裔了，就是从埃及河直到幼发拉底河之地；

就在那一天，耶和华与亚伯兰立约，说：“我已经把这地赐给你的后裔，从埃及河直到幼发拉底大河，

就在那天，耶和華跟亞伯蘭立約，說：「我必將這片土地賜給你的後代，使他們得到從埃及河到幼發拉底河一帶的土地，

就在那時候，耶和華與亞伯蘭立約說：“我已經把這地賜給你的後裔了，就是從埃及河直到幼發拉底河之地；

就在那一天，永恆主就同亞伯蘭立了約說：『這地我已經給了你的後裔了：就是從埃及河直到大河、就是伯拉河、那一帶：

就在那一天，耶和華與亞伯蘭立約，說：「我已經把這地賜給你的後裔，從埃及河直到幼發拉底大河，

On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said,“ To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—

On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram. He said,“ I am giving this land to your family who comes after you. It reaches from the River of Egypt to the great Euphrates River.

On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying,“ To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,

So the Lord made a covenant with Abram that day and said,“ I have given this land to your descendants, all the way from the border of Egypt to the great Euphrates River—

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:

On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying:“ To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates—

In that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying,“ I give this land to your offspring, from the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates River:

In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

That day the LORD made a covenant with Abram:“ To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River–

In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying,“ I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

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

for I will give you and your offspring forever all the land that you see.

You found his heart faithful in your sight, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Jebusites, and Girgashites— to give it to his descendants. You have fulfilled your promise, for you are righteous.

I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses.Your territory will be from the wilderness and Lebanon to the great river, the Euphrates River— all the land of the Hittites— and west to the Mediterranean Sea.

I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring,

Every place the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.

The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from my native land, who spoke to me and swore to me,‘ I will give this land to your offspring’— he will send his angel before you, and you can take a wife for my son from there.

The LORD then said to him,“ This is the land I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,‘ I will give it to your descendants.’ I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not cross into it.”

“ I will cause the people ahead of you to feel terror and will throw into confusion all the nations you come to. I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you in retreat.I will send hornets in front of you, and they will drive the Hivites, Canaanites, and Hethites away from you.I will not drive them out ahead of you in a single year; otherwise, the land would become desolate, and wild animals would multiply against you.I will drive them out little by little ahead of you until you have become numerous and take possession of the land.I will set your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River. For I will place the inhabitants of the land under your control, and you will drive them out ahead of you.

“ Look, the days are coming”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.This one will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt— my covenant that they broke even though I am their master”— the LORD’s declaration.“ Instead, this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days”— the LORD’s declaration.“ I will put my teaching within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.No longer will one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying,‘ Know the LORD,’ for they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them”— this is the LORD’s declaration.“ For I will forgive their iniquity and never again remember their sin.

The border will turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, where it will end at the Mediterranean Sea.

Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus— the great Shepherd of the sheep— through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

Solomon ruled all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines and as far as the border of Egypt. They offered tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites and their neighbors in the Arabah, the hill country, the Judean foothills, the Negev and the sea coast— to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon as far as the great river, the Euphrates River.See, I have set the land before you. Enter and take possession of the land the LORD swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their future descendants.’

He ruled over all the kings from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines and as far as the border of Egypt.

For my angel will go before you and bring you to the land of the Amorites, Hethites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out.

Is it not true my house is with God? For he has established a permanent covenant with me, ordered and secured in every detail. Will he not bring about my whole salvation and my every desire?

The LORD was standing there beside him, saying,“ I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your offspring the land on which you are lying.Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him, saying,“ I am God Almighty. Live in my presence and be blameless.I will set up my covenant between me and you, and I will multiply you greatly.”Then Abram fell facedown and God spoke with him:“ As for me, here is my covenant with you: You will become the father of many nations.Your name will no longer be Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I will make you the father of many nations.I will make you extremely fruitful and will make nations and kings come from you.I will confirm my covenant that is between me and you and your future offspring throughout their generations. It is a permanent covenant to be your God and the God of your offspring after you.And to you and your future offspring I will give the land where you are residing— all the land of Canaan— as a permanent possession, and I will be their God.”God also said to Abraham,“ As for you, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations are to keep my covenant.This is my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you, which you are to keep: Every one of your males must be circumcised.You must circumcise the flesh of your foreskin to serve as a sign of the covenant between me and you.Throughout your generations, every male among you is to be circumcised at eight days old— every male born in your household or purchased from any foreigner and not your offspring.Whether born in your household or purchased, he must be circumcised. My covenant will be marked in your flesh as a permanent covenant.If any male is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that man will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.”God said to Abraham,“ As for your wife Sarai, do not call her Sarai, for Sarah will be her name.I will bless her; indeed, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she will produce nations; kings of peoples will come from her.”Abraham fell facedown. Then he laughed and said to himself,“ Can a child be born to a hundred-year-old man? Can Sarah, a ninety-year-old woman, give birth?”So Abraham said to God,“ If only Ishmael were acceptable to you!”But God said,“ No. Your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will name him Isaac. I will confirm my covenant with him as a permanent covenant for his future offspring.As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will certainly bless him; I will make him fruitful and will multiply him greatly. He will father twelve tribal leaders, and I will make him into a great nation.But I will confirm my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year.”When he finished talking with him, God withdrew from Abraham.So Abraham took his son Ishmael and those born in his household or purchased— every male among the members of Abraham’s household— and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day, just as God had said to him.Abraham was ninety-nine years old when the flesh of his foreskin was circumcised,and his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when the flesh of his foreskin was circumcised.On that very day Abraham and his son Ishmael were circumcised.And all the men of his household— whether born in his household or purchased from a foreigner— were circumcised with him.

“ I will make a permanent covenant with them: I will never turn away from doing good to them, and I will put fear of me in their hearts so they will never again turn away from me.

Pay attention and come to me; listen, so that you will live. I will make a permanent covenant with you on the basis of the faithful kindnesses of David.

On that day the LORD will thresh grain from the Euphrates River as far as the Wadi of Egypt, and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.

“ I will give the land of Canaan to you as your inherited portion.”

“ This is what the LORD says: If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night so that day and night cease to come at their regular time,then also my covenant with my servant David may be broken. If that could happen, then he would not have a son reigning on his throne and the Levitical priests would not be my ministers.Even as the stars of heaven cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so too I will make innumerable the descendants of my servant David and the Levites who minister to me.”The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:“ Have you not noticed what these people have said? They say,‘ The LORD has rejected the two families he had chosen.’ My people are treated with contempt and no longer regarded as a nation among them.This is what the LORD says: If I do not keep my covenant with the day and with the night, and if I fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth,then I might also reject the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David. That is, I would not take rulers from his descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But in fact, I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.”

The second lot came out for Simeon, for the tribe of his descendants by their clans, but their inheritance was within the inheritance given to Judah’s descendants.Their inheritance included Beer-sheba( or Sheba), Moladah,Hazar-shual, Balah, Ezem,Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,Ziklag, Beth-marcaboth, Hazar-susah,Beth-lebaoth, and Sharuhen— thirteen cities, with their settlements;Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan— four cities, with their settlements;and all the settlements surrounding these cities as far as Baalath-beer( Ramah in the south). This was the inheritance of the tribe of Simeon’s descendants by their clans.The inheritance of Simeon’s descendants was within the territory of Judah’s descendants, because the share for Judah’s descendants was too large. So Simeon’s descendants received an inheritance within Judah’s portion.The third lot came up for Zebulun’s descendants by their clans. The territory of their inheritance stretched as far as Sarid;their border went up westward to Maralah, reached Dabbesheth, and met the brook east of Jokneam.From Sarid, it turned due east along the border of Chisloth-tabor, went to Daberath, and went up to Japhia.From there, it went due east to Gath-hepher and to Eth-kazin; it extended to Rimmon, curving around to Neah.The border then circled around Neah on the north to Hannathon and ended at Iphtah-el Valley,along with Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem— twelve cities, with their settlements.This was the inheritance of Zebulun’s descendants by their clans, these cities, with their settlements.The fourth lot came out for the tribe of Issachar’s descendants by their clans.Their territory went to Jezreel, and included Chesulloth, Shunem,Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,Remeth, En-gannim, En-haddah, and Beth-pazzez.The border reached Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth-shemesh, and ended at the Jordan— sixteen cities, with their settlements.This was the inheritance of the tribe of Issachar’s descendants by their clans, the cities, with their settlements.The fifth lot came out for the tribe of Asher’s descendants by their clans.Their boundary included Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,Allammelech, Amad, and Mishal and reached westward to Carmel and Shihor-libnath.It turned eastward to Beth-dagon, reached Zebulun and Iphtah-el Valley, north toward Beth-emek and Neiel, and went north to Cabul,Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, as far as greater Sidon.The boundary then turned to Ramah as far as the fortified city of Tyre; it turned back to Hosah and ended at the Mediterranean Sea, including Mahalab, Achzib,Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob— twenty-two cities, with their settlements.This was the inheritance of the tribe of Asher’s descendants by their clans, these cities with their settlements.The sixth lot came out for Naphtali’s descendants by their clans.Their boundary went from Heleph and from the oak in Zaanannim, including Adami-nekeb and Jabneel, as far as Lakkum, and ended at the Jordan.To the west, the boundary turned to Aznoth-tabor and went from there to Hukkok, reaching Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and Judah at the Jordan on the east.The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth,Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,Kedesh, Edrei, En-hazor,Iron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh— nineteen cities, with their settlements.

Joseph said to his brothers,“ I am about to die, but God will certainly come to your aid and bring you up from this land to the land he swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land they lived in as aliens.

May God give you and your offspring the blessing of Abraham so that you may possess the land where you live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”

Observe what I command you today. I am going to drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hethites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

They also settled in the east as far as the edge of the desert that extends to the Euphrates River, because their herds had increased in the land of Gilead.

and I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them from that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey— the territory of the Canaanites, Hethites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

Brothers and sisters, I’m using a human illustration. No one sets aside or makes additions to a validated human will.Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say“ and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.My point is this: The law, which came 430 years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously established by God and thus cancel the promise.

It proceeded to Azmon and to the Brook of Egypt and so the border ended at the Mediterranean Sea. This is your southern border.

The name of the third river is Tigris, which runs east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

Then God said to Noah and his sons with him,“ Understand that I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you,and with every living creature that is with you— birds, livestock, and all wildlife of the earth that are with you— all the animals of the earth that came out of the ark.I establish my covenant with you that never again will every creature be wiped out by floodwaters; there will never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”And God said,“ This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all future generations:I have placed my bow in the clouds, and it will be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.Whenever I form clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds,I will remember my covenant between me and you and all the living creatures: water will never again become a flood to destroy every creature.The bow will be in the clouds, and I will look at it and remember the permanent covenant between God and all the living creatures on earth.”God said to Noah,“ This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and every creature on earth.”

“ When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, and he drives out many nations before you— the Hethites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations more numerous and powerful than you—

The Israelites struck down the following kings of the land and took possession of their land beyond the Jordan to the east and from the Arnon River to Mount Hermon, including all the Arabah eastward:King Sihon of the Amorites lived in Heshbon. He ruled from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon River, along the middle of the valley, and half of Gilead up to the Jabbok River( the border of the Ammonites),the Arabah east of the Sea of Chinnereth to the Sea of Arabah( that is, the Dead Sea), eastward through Beth-jeshimoth and southward below the slopes of Pisgah.King Og of Bashan, of the remnant of the Rephaim, lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei.He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah, all Bashan up to the Geshurite and Maacathite border, and half of Gilead to the border of King Sihon of Heshbon.Moses the LORD’s servant and the Israelites struck them down. And Moses the LORD’s servant gave their land as an inheritance to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh.Joshua and the Israelites struck down the following kings of the land beyond the Jordan to the west, from Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which ascends toward Seir( Joshua gave their land as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel according to their allotments:the hill country, the Judean foothills, the Arabah, the slopes, the wilderness, and the Negev— the lands of the Hethites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites):the king of Jericho one the king of Ai, which is next to Bethel onethe king of Jerusalem one the king of Hebron onethe king of Jarmuth one the king of Lachish onethe king of Eglon one the king of Gezer onethe king of Debir one the king of Geder onethe king of Hormah one the king of Arad onethe king of Libnah one the king of Adullam onethe king of Makkedah one the king of Bethel onethe king of Tappuah one the king of Hepher onethe king of Aphek one the king of Lasharon onethe king of Madon one the king of Hazor onethe king of Shimron-meron one the king of Achshaph one

“ Command the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land of Canaan, it will be allotted to you as an inheritance with these borders:Your southern side will be from the Wilderness of Zin along the boundary of Edom. Your southern border on the east will begin at the east end of the Dead Sea.

David also defeated Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his control at the Euphrates River.

I will give to you the land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac. And I will give the land to your future descendants.”
