Now the LORD
said to Avram, “Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father’s
house, to the land that I will show you. I will make of you a great nation. I will bless
you, and make your name great. You will be a blessing. I will bless
those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will
all of the families of the earth be blessed. … I will give this land
to your seed.” Beresheet (Genesis)
12:1-3,7 HNV
“I will establish my covenant between me and you and your
seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a G-d to you
and to your seed after you. I will give to you, and to your seed after
you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Kana`an, for an everlasting
possession. I will be their G-d.” Beresheet/Genesis 17:7,8
HNV
God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son.
You shall call his name Yitzchak. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting
covenant for his seed after him. As for Yishma'el, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed
him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the
father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.
But my covenant I establish with Yitzchak, …” Beresheet (Genesis)
17:19-21 HNV
The LORD
appeared to [Yitzchak], and said, “Don't go down into Egypt. Dwell in the land which I will
tell you of. Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For
to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I
will establish the oath which I swore to Avraham your father. I will multiply your seed as
the stars of the sky, and will give to your seed all these lands.
In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because Avraham obeyed my voice,
and kept my charge, my mitzvot, my statutes, and my laws.“ Beresheet (Genesis)
26:1-5 HNV
Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said [to Ya`akov], “I am the LORD, the G-d of Avraham your father, and the G-d of Yitzchak.
The land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed.”
Beresheet (Genesis) 28:13 HNV
God appeared to Ya`akov again, when he came from
Paddan-Aram, and blessed him. G-d said to him, “Your name is Ya`akov. Your name shall not be
Ya`akov any more, but your name will be Yisra'el.” He named him
Yisra'el. G-d said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a
company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your loins.
The land which I gave to Avraham and Yitzchak, I will give it to you,
and to your seed after you will I give the land.” Beresheet (Genesis)
35:9-12 HNV
“In righteousness shall you be established: you shall be
far from oppression, for you shall not be afraid; and from terror, for it shall not come
near you. Behold, they may gather together, but not by me:
whoever shall gather together against you shall fall because of you. Behold,
I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals, and brings forth a weapon for his
work; and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is
formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in
judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness which is of me,” says the LORD. Yesha`yahu (Isaiah)
54:14-17 HNV
