This was the way God showed Abram that he was serious about the promise he made. God said to him again, “I am going to give all this country to your family, from the river in Egypt all the way to the great river You-fray-tees that is in the country where you came from. This is a list of the tribes that live in this country. They are called, the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perizzites, Refay-ites, Amorites, Canaanites, Gir-gash-ites, and the Jebusites. I will take this country away from all these people and give it to your family.”
