1
One night God appeared to me in a vision and said, Go up to the top of Razor and lift up thine eyes and gaze eastward and westward and southward and northward and behold all this land for, behold, unto thee and to thy seed after thee shall I give it for an everlasting inheritance.
2
The next day I ascended Razor as the Lord had commanded me and I gazed upon all the land from the river of Egypt unto Lebanon and Shenir, from the Great Sea unto Hauran, the whole area of Seir as far as Kadesh, the whole of the great wilderness which lieth east of the Hauran and the region of Shenir as far as the Euphrates.
3
And as I beheld the land, the Lord my God spake in mine heart saying, Blessed Abraham, I have chosen thee to stand at the head of a multitude.
4
Wherefore, unto thee and to thy seed after thee I will give this land, even all that thine eye beholdeth, that ye may possess it forever.
5
And I shall multiply thy seed like the dust of the earth, for even as no man can count the dust of the earth, so shall thy seed be without number.
6
Rise up, now, and compass this land.
7
Behold the length of it and the breadth of it, for I will give it unto thee and to thy seed after thee forever.
