“And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.”
The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you. The land promise — given to Abraham in Genesis 12:7 and confirmed to Isaac in Genesis 26:3 — is now confirmed to Israel. The covenant land is the same land in each generation; the promise is renewed with each inheritor. The application: the covenant land is not inherited automatically but is given again to each generation by the same God who gave it to the first.
