2. The Lord appeared to him and said, "Don’t go down to Egypt but settle temporarily in the land that I will show you.
3. Stay in this land as an immigrant, and I will be with you and bless you because I will give all of these lands to you and your descendants. I will keep my word, which I gave to your father Abraham.
4. I will give you as many descendants as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all of these lands. All of the nations of the earth will be blessed because of your descendants.
5. I will do this because Abraham obeyed me and kept my orders, my commandments, my statutes, and my instructions."
