<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><a name="pgfId-481138"></a>Hence, the condition of this future covenant so far is to “walk before me, and be perfect.” Other Jewish translations are “walk before me, and be blameless”—the Hebrew word tamim. See Orthodox Jewish Bible 17:1.</p>

<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><a name="pgfId-481930"></a>Hence, this is still an offer (see v. 7), and not a present covenant until action accepted it. The condition is that Abraham must accept and honor the acceptance of the terms—to walk” perfectly.</p>

And Isaac went... unto Gerar. (2) And Yahweh appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt. Dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of. (3) Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee. For unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father. (4) And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
