TSK · Genesis 15:18

God said to Noah and his sons,

I will give all the land that you see to you and your descendants forever.

Then I will confirm my covenant between me and you, and I will give you a multitude of descendants.”

Pay attention and come to me! Listen, so you can live! Then I will make an unconditional covenantal promise to you, just like the reliable covenantal promises I made to David.
