Genesis 15:1
God’s Covenant with Abram
1After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: a“Fear not, Abram, I am byour shield; your reward shall be very great.”Deuteronomy 33:27-29
27The eternal God is your cdwelling place, ▼▼Or a dwelling place
and underneath are the everlasting arms. ▼
▼Revocalization of verse 27 yields He subdues the ancient gods, and shatters the forces of old
And he thrust out the enemy before you
and said, ‘Destroy.’
28So Israel lived in safety,
fJacob lived galone, ▼
▼Hebrew the abode of Jacob was alone
in a land of grain and wine,
whose heavens drop down dew.
29Happy are you, O Israel! iWho is like you,
a people jsaved by the Lord,
kthe shield of your help,
and the sword of your triumph!
Your enemies shall come fawning to you,
and you shall tread upon their backs.”
Psalms 47:9
9 lThe princes of the peoples gatheras the people of the God of Abraham.
For mthe shields of the earth belong to God;
he is highly exalted!
Psalms 62:1-2
