14saying, `Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee;`
15and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the promise;
16for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all controversy to them for confirmation [is] the oath,
17in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose by an oath,
18that through two immutable things, in which [it is] impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before [us],
19which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and entering into that within the vail,
20whither a forerunner for us did enter -- Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become -- to the age.
