Je te donnerai, et à tes descendants après toi, le pays que tu habites comme étranger, tout le pays de Canaan, en possession perpétuelle, et je serai leur Dieu.
E darò a te, ed a’ tuoi discendenti dopo te, il paese dove tu abiti come forestiere, tutto il paese di Canaan, in possessione perpetua; e sarò loro Dio.
E te darei a ti e à tua descendência depois de ti, a terra de tuas peregrinações, toda a terra de Canaã em perpétua possessão e ser-lhes-ei o seu Deus.
我要把你現在寄居的地,就是 迦南 全地,賜給你和你的後裔永遠為業;我也必作他們的上帝。」
