6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

8He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9[The covenant] which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,
10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
12When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
