Then God said, “I now give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the entire earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

O children of Israel, God’s servant, you descendants of Jacob, God’s chosen ones!

A whole generation will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the sovereign Lord.

O children of Abraham, God’s servant, you descendants of Jacob, God’s chosen ones!

Those truly of Israelite descent separated from all the foreigners, standing and confessing their sins and the iniquities of their ancestors.
