Contextual Overview

8 He will keep his agreement forever; he will keep his promises always. 9 He will keep the agreement he made with Abraham and the promise he made to Isaac. 10 He made it a law for the people of Jacob; he made it an agreement with Israel to last forever. 11 The Lord said, "I will give you the land of Canaan, and it will belong to you." 12 Then God's people were few in number. They were strangers in the land. 13 They went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another. 14 But the Lord did not let anyone hurt them; he warned kings not to harm them. 15 He said, "Don't touch my chosen people, and don't harm my prophets." 16 God ordered a time of hunger in the land, and he destroyed all the food. 17 Then he sent a man ahead of them— Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,.... The son of Isaac, and the grandson of Abraham, to whom it was renewed and confirmed, Genesis 28:13. It is true of his posterity that go by his name, and even of all the spiritual Israel of God, to whom this covenant is confirmed and made sure: or "caused to stand" b, as the word is; by the faithfulness of God by his oath annexed to his word, and by the death of his Son: when this is said to be "for a law", the meaning is, not as if this covenant had the nature of a law, as the covenant of works had; indeed one of the articles of it is, that the law of God should be put into the inward part, and written on the heart; but this refers here not to men, but to God; and the sense is, that this covenant has the force of a law with respect to God, who of his condescending grace and goodness has hereby laid himself under obligation to do such and such things; which is marvellous grace indeed.

And to Israel for an everlasting covenant: for being remembered, commanded, repeated, and confirmed by the Lord, it can never be broken; and being well ordered, remains sure, and is as immovable as rocks and mountains, and more so: as it was made with Christ from everlasting, it will continue to be made good to his people to everlasting; and is a just reason for praise; it being the basis of faith and hope; the ground of joy, peace, and comfort here, and of eternal happiness hereafter.

b יעמידה "stare fecit", Vatablus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And confirmed the same unto Jacob - literally, “caused it to stand;” that is, he made it fast or secure. He renewed it, commanding the same things; making the same promises; and pledging himself for its fulfillment in the same manner. Genesis 28:10-15.

For a law - For an established or settled ordinance, for a rule by which future things were to be regulated: that is, they would occur according to that promise, and be conformed to it. It was, as it were, a rule which God prescribed for himself in regard to his own future conduct.

And to Israel ... - Another name for Jacob, Genesis 32:28.
