the covenant He made with Abraham
The word "covenant" in Hebrew is "בְּרִית" (berit), which signifies a solemn agreement or promise. In the context of the Bible, it often refers to a divine promise made by God to His people. The covenant with Abraham is foundational to the narrative of the Israelites, as it marks the beginning of God's special relationship with Abraham and his descendants. This covenant included promises of land, descendants, and blessings, as seen in Genesis 12:1-3. Historically, this covenant is pivotal as it sets the stage for the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through the nation of Israel. It is a testament to God's faithfulness and His sovereign plan to bless all nations through Abraham's lineage, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

and the oath He swore to Isaac
The term "oath" in Hebrew is "שְׁבוּעָה" (shevu'ah), which implies a solemn promise or vow. An oath is a binding commitment, and in the biblical context, it underscores the seriousness and unchangeable nature of God's promises. The oath to Isaac reaffirms the covenant made with Abraham, ensuring the continuation of God's promises through Isaac's line. This is recorded in Genesis 26:3-5, where God reiterates the blessings of land and numerous descendants. The historical context here is significant, as it demonstrates God's unwavering commitment to His word, despite human failings. Isaac's role as the heir of the covenant highlights the importance of faith and obedience in the fulfillment of God's promises. This continuity from Abraham to Isaac emphasizes the reliability of God's word and His eternal purpose for His people.

(16) Even of the covenant.--These words should be cancelled. The object is still the word of promise.

Which he made.--Literally, he cut. Same phrase as in Haggai 2:5.

With Abraham.--Genesis 22:16.

Unto Isaac.--Heb., Yichaq. Psalm 105:9 has the weaker form, Yish?q (Amos 7:9). . . .
