Exodus 6:4 Summary
In Exodus 6:4, God reminds Moses of the promise He made to the patriarchs, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them the land of Canaan. This promise was part of a covenant, or agreement, that God made with them, as seen in Genesis 17:8. Even though the Israelites were currently living as slaves in Egypt, God had not forgotten His promise to them, and He would soon fulfill it (Exodus 6:5-6). This verse shows us that God is a faithful and promise-keeping God, who always fulfills His word, as seen in Numbers 23:19.
