2017. Verse 7. And I will set up My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee unto their generations, for an eternal covenant, to be to thee for God, and to thy seed after thee. “I will set up My covenant between Me and thee,” signifies union; “and thy seed after thee,” signifies conjunction with those who have faith in Him; “unto their generations,” signifies those things which are of faith; “for an eternal covenant,” signifies conjunction with these; “to be to thee for God,” signifies the Lord’s Divine in Himself; “and to thy seed after thee,” signifies the Divine thence derived with those who have faith in Him.
