⁸He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

⁹Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

¹⁰And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

¹¹Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

¹²When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

⁸He hath remembred his couenant for euer: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

^9*Which couenant he made with Abraham, and his oath vnto Isaac:

¹⁰And confirmed the same vnto Iacob for a law: and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant:

^11*†Saying, Unto thee will I giue the land of Canaan: the lot of your inheritance.

⁴⁰¶ Now the soiourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was ^*foure hundred and thirtie yeeres.

⁴¹And it came to passe at the end of the foure hundred and thirtie yeeres, euen the selfe same day it came to passe, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
