7. The grace of the covenant, as the fountain and foundation, the sweetness and security, of all these blessings: I will establish my covenant with you, Le 26:9. Let them perform their part of the covenant, and God would not fail to perform his. All covenant-blessings are summed up in the covenant-relation (Le 26:12): I will be your God, and you shall be my people; and they are all grounded upon their redemption: I am your God, because I brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, Le 26:13.

9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and
multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the

12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be
my people.
13 I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land
of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
