¹⁵¹³⁾And remember the covenant which I make with thee; for it shall be an everlasting covenant; and thou shalt remember the days of Enoch thy father;

¹⁴⁾For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give itthee, and to thy seed for ever. 16)And; and I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth:; so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed shall also be numbered.

¹⁷¹⁵⁾Arise, walk through the land in the length of it, and in the breadth of it;, for I will give it unto thee. 18) Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which iswas in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORDLord.
