“Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;”
Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. The covenant confirmation to Isaac is the first time the Abrahamic covenant is explicitly renewed in the second generation. The elements are the same: stay here, I will be with you, I will bless you, I will give you the land. Hebrews 13:5 quotes the promise: I will never leave you or forsake you. The application: the covenant confirmed to the next generation is the same covenant — same presence, same blessing, same land — newly spoken to the new inheritor.
