1 CHRONICLES 16:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,”
Which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant — evolution from Abraham to Jacob to Israel shows covenant progression and deepening. Hebrew 'choq' (statute) and 'brit olam' (everlasting covenant) emphasize binding obligation. Jacob's Bethel experience becomes archetypal for Israel's covenant relationship.
