Exodus 6:4 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 6:4

And I have also established my covenant with them
With Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and with their posterity, so that it is sure and firm, and shall never be made null and void: to give them the land of Canaan;
or to their children, which were as themselves: the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers;
not being in actual possession of any part of it, but lived as pilgrims and strangers in it, as their posterity now did in another land not theirs; see ( Hebrews 11:9 Hebrews 11:13 ) .

Exodus 6:4 In-Context

2 And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh:

3 I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

4 And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.

5 And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.

6 Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.
