      3   And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
      4.   As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
      5   Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
      6   And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
      7.   And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
      8   And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
      9   And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
      10   This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
      11   And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
      12   And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
      13   He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
      14   And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

Exodus 12:40

      40   Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

Leviticus 1:17

      17   And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

2 Chronicles 9:26

      26   And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.

Romans 4:3

      3   For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Galatians 3:6-18

      6.   Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
      7   Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
      8   And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
      9   So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
      10   For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
      11   But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
      12   And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
      13   Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
      14   That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
      15   Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
      16   Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
      17   And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
      18   For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Galatians 3:6

      6.   Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Galatians 3:17

      17   And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

James 2:20-24

      20   But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
      21   Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
      22   Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
      23   And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
      24   Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
