Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 24:3

3 And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the floud, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan , and multiplyed his seed , and gave him Isaac .

I apprehended him by my grace, and snatched him out of that Idolatrous and Wicked place, and took him into Acquaintance and Covenant with my self, which was the highest Honour and Happiness he was capable of.

i. e. I brought him after his Fathers Death into Canaan, Gen. 12. 1. and I conducted and preserved him in safety in all his Travels through the several parts of Canaan.

i. e. Gave him a numerous Posterity, not only by Hagar and Keturah, but even by Sarah and by Isaac, as it follows.

By my special Power and Grace to be the Heir of my Covenant, and all my Promises, and the Seed in or by which all Nations were to be Blessed, Gen. 12. 1. and 21. 2.
