God's Promise is Certain

The verse begins by reminding Israel of God's sworn oath to their ancestors. Commentators like John Gill note this was a powerful encouragement, assuring them that their entry into the promised land was guaranteed by God's own word. Their future worship was to be built on the foundation of this fulfilled promise.
