Study Note

The eternal grant of Canaan to Abraham and his descendants is framed within the covenant of circumcision, which God calls 'an everlasting covenant' (berit olam). The phrase 'the land of your sojournings' acknowledges that Abraham currently holds the land only as a resident alien — the promise is entirely future-oriented and faith-demanding. The formula 'I will be their God' establishes the covenantal relationship formula that echoes across the Hebrew Bible (Exodus 6:7; Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 37:27) and reaches eschatological fulfillment in Revelation 21:3. Post-exilic and New Testament communities interpreted the 'everlasting' dimension of the land promise in both literal and spiritualized ways, generating enduring theological debate.
