Genesis 26:2–3. And the Lord appeared to [Abraham] and said . . . “Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and will bless you, for to you and your offspring* I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath that I swore to Abraham, your father. - From the biblical promise God made in Genesis 17:8 and Exodus 3:8 to give the land of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants. God, your God, will restore everything you lost; he’ll have compassion on you; he’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered and bring you back to the land your ancestors once possessed. It will be yours again.
