This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

The adoption of Israel as the nation of God took place at Sinai (Exo 19:5). וגו נָשָׁאתִי אֲשֶׁר, “with regard to which I have lifted up My hand to give it” (Exo 6:8). Lifting up the hand (sc., towards heaven) is the attitude of swearing (Deu 32:40 cf. Gen 14:22); and these words point back to Gen 22:16. and Gen 26:3 (cf. Gen 24:7 and Gen 50:24).
