Exodus 6:8
Ver. 8. And I will bring you in unto the land,.... The land of Canaan:
concerning the which I did swear; or lift up my hand {a}, which was a gesture used in swearing, Ge 14:22
to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; see Ex 6:4:
and I will give it you for an heritage; to be possessed as an inheritance by them, so long as they were obedient to his will, or until the Messiah came:
I am the Lord; whose counsels of old are faithfulness and truth; whose promises are yea and amen; whose gifts and calling are without repentance; and who is able also to perform whatever he has said he will do.
