Exodus 6:8 - Exposition

The land which I did swear to give it to Abraham etc. See Genesis 22:16-18 ; Genesis 26:3 , etc. The only formal oath is recorded in Genesis 22:16 ; but an oath is perhaps implied in every covenant between God and man. God's faithfulness is pledged to the performance of the terms of the covenant on his part. I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord. Rather, " I will give it you for an heritage, I the Lord" (or " I Jehovah," or " I the Eternal One"). "You have the pledge of my Eternity and Immutability that it shall be yours."
