and said to me, Behold, I will increase thee, and multiply thee, and will make of thee multitudes of nations; and I will give this land to thee, and to thy seed after thee, for an everlasting possession |
and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child |
and said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a company of nations, and will give this to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession |
Comments: The NT, LXX and MT agree. This appears to be more of an allusion than a quotation. |
