Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, the land of Canaan.

Jacob lived in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan.

So Jacob settled again in the land of Canaan, where his father had lived as a foreigner.

Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, the land of Canaan.

Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had lived as a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father’s sojournings, in the land of Canaan.

Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, the land of Canaan.

And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

But Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed, in the land of Canaan.

Jacob lived in the land of his father’s travels, in the land of Canaan.

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.”

Jacob and Esau owned so much that they couldn’t remain together. There wasn’t enough land for both of them. They had too much livestock.

May he give you and your children after you the blessing he gave to Abraham. Then you can take over the land where you now live as an outsider. It’s the land God gave to Abraham.”

Because of his faith he made his home in the land God had promised him. Abraham was like an outsider in a strange country. He lived there in tents. So did Isaac and Jacob. They received the same promise he did.Abraham was looking forward to the city that has foundations. He was waiting for the city that God planned and built.And Sarah had faith. So God made it possible for her to become a mother. She became a mother even though she was too old to have children. But Sarah believed that the God who made the promise was faithful.Abraham was past the time when he could have children. But many children came from that one man. They were as many as the stars in the sky. They were as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. No one could count them.All these people were still living by faith when they died. They didn’t receive the things God had promised. They only saw them and welcomed them from a long way off. They openly said that they were outsiders and strangers on earth.People who say things like that show that they are looking for a country of their own.What if they had been thinking of the country they had left? Then they could have returned to it.Instead, they longed for a better country. They wanted a heavenly one. So God is pleased when they call him their God. In fact, he has prepared a city for them.

“ I’m an outsider. I’m a stranger among you. Sell me some property where I can bury those in my family who die. Then I can bury my wife.”
