He is ever mindful of his covenant, — the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, —

And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”

Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.
20 The king sent servants to release him; the ruler of the people set him free.
The king sent and loosed him — the ruler of peoples — and let him go free.

33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees; he broke the trees of their country.
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, so many locusts.
He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number;
35 The locusts ate up all of the vegetation in their land; They ate up all the crops of the ground.

And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:
