“And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.”
And said to me, I am going to make you fruitful and increase your numbers. I will make you a community of peoples, and I will give this land as an everlasting possession to your descendants after you. The covenant promises — fruitfulness, community of peoples, everlasting possession — are the promises Jacob received and now transmits. The application: the covenant promises are not merely received; they are declared over the next generation. Jacob speaks them over his sons so the inheritance passes forward.
