He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never ending covenant:

and confirmed to Jacob as a decree, and to Israel as a permanent covenant:

He also confirmed it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

and confirmed to Jacob as a decree, and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law,[ and] to Israel[ for] an everlasting covenant,

He gave it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as a lasting promise,

He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

God said to him,“ I am the Mighty God. Have children so that there will be many of you. You will become the father of a nation and a community of nations. Your later family will include kings.I am giving you the land I gave to Abraham and Isaac. I will also give it to your children after you.”

I have promised to bring you up out of Egypt where you are suffering. I will bring you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. It is a land that has plenty of milk and honey.” ’

“ Listen to the terms of the covenant I made with my people of long ago. Tell Judah the terms still apply to them. Tell those who live in Jerusalem that they must obey them too.

Our Lord Jesus is the great Shepherd of the sheep. The God who gives peace brought him back from the dead. He did it because of the blood of the eternal covenant. Now may God

“‘ Then you went across the Jordan River. You came to Jericho. Its people fought against you. So did the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites. But I handed them over to you.I sent hornets ahead of you. They drove your enemies out to make room for you. That included the two Amorite kings. You did not do that with your own swords and bows.So I gave you a land you had never farmed. I gave you cities you had not built. You are now living in them. And you are eating the fruit of vineyards and olive trees you did not plant.’

I will make my covenant with you last forever. It will be between me and you and your family after you for all time to come. I will be your God. And I will be the God of all your family after you.You are now living in Canaan as an outsider. But I will give you the whole land of Canaan. You will own it forever and so will all your family after you. And I will be their God.”

Listen and come to me. Pay attention to me. Then you will live. I will make a covenant with you that will last forever. I will give you my faithful love. I promised it to David.

They didn’t keep the covenant God had made with them. They refused to live by his law.

“ Suppose my royal family was not right with God. Then he would not have made a covenant with me that will last forever. Every part of it was well prepared and made secure. Then God would not have saved me completely or given me everything I longed for.
