Exodus 19:5-6
5Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be amy treasured possession among all peoples, for ball the earth is mine; 6and you shall be to me a ckingdom of priests and da holy nation'. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”Deuteronomy 7:8
8but eit is because the Lord loves you and is keeping fthe oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.Deuteronomy 13:17
17 gNone of the devoted things shall stick to your hand, hthat the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger and show you mercy and have compassion on you and multiply you, ias he swore to your fathers,Deuteronomy 29:12
12so that you may enter into the jsworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today,Jeremiah 11:5
5 kthat I may confirm the oath that I swore to your fathers, lto give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as at this day.” Then I answered, “So be it, Lord.”Hebrews 6:13-18
The Certainty of God’s Promise
13For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, mhe swore by himself, 14saying, n“Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” 15And thus Abraham, ▼▼Greek he
phaving patiently waited, obtained the promise. 16For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes qan oath is final for confirmation. 17So when God desired to show more convincingly to rthe heirs of the promise sthe unchangeable character of his purpose, the guaranteed it with an oath, 18so that by two unchangeable things, in which uit is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope vset before us.
