Psalm 105:10

and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

8He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
10and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
12when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
