I will remember my covenant with Jacob and my covenant with Isaac and my covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land. The divine memory of the patriarchal covenants is the foundation of the restoration promise: God will remember the covenants with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham. The triple remembering communicates the triple covenant — three generations of promise — that grounds the restoration. The land is also remembered: the covenant promises the land belong to God and to the family of the patriarchs, and God's memory of the covenant includes the memory of the land's promise.
