Genesis 26:3

sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

Genesis 26:4

and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

Genesis 26:5

because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
