Exodus 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 6:8

And I will bring you in unto the land
The land of Canaan: concerning the which I did swear;
or lift up my hand ^F1, which was a gesture used in swearing, ( Genesis 14:22 ) to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
see ( Exodus 6:4 ) : and I will give it you for an heritage;
to be possessed as an inheritance by them, so long as they were obedient to his will, or until the Messiah came: I am the Lord;
whose counsels of old are faithfulness and truth; whose promises are yea and amen; whose gifts and calling are without repentance; and who is able also to perform whatever he has said he will do.
