Enoch pleased the Lord, and was taken away to be an example of repentance for the world.
Noah was found to be perfectly righteous and found mercy.
For his sake, a remnant remains in the world.
An everlasting covenant was made.
Abraham was the father of many nations, and was greatly praised and highly honored.
He kept the law of the Most High, and God made a covenant with him.
He was found faithful when he was tested through his son Isaac.
Therefore God assured him with an oath that the nations would be blessed by his seed. And he assured him his descendants would be exalted as the stars,
and would have an inheritance stretching from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
He has confirmed this covenant with Isaac, for his father Abraham's sake. And he made it rest upon the head of Jacob.
He blessed him mercifully, dividing his portions among 12 tribes.
