EXODUS 32:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.”
Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever. Moses' third argument is the oath sworn to the patriarchs — God's most binding form of promise. Hebrews 6:17–18 says God confirmed his promise with an oath so that we who have fled to take hold of hope might be greatly encouraged — the promise sworn to Abraham that Moses invokes is the same promise Hebrews identifies as the anchor of Christian hope. Moses intercedes on the gospel's own foundation.
