Where is the Abrahamic covenant promise repeated to Isaac?
The Abrahamic covenant promise is repeated to Isaac in Genesis chapter 26, specifically at verse 2. There the Lord appeared to Isaac and told him not to go down into Egypt, but to dwell in the land God would show him, promising to be with him and bless him and his seed.
Les explains that the covenant promise made to Abraham in Genesis 12, 15, and 17 is repeated to Isaac, the son of promise, in Genesis chapter 26. Les directs attention to verse 2, where the Lord appeared to Isaac and said, "Go not down into Egypt, dwell in the land that I shall tell thee of," and promised, "I will be with thee, will bless thee, for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will bless thee." He reminds listeners that this covenant was given to the nation of Israel, not the Church.
