Changes

After [[Abraham]] has died, God continues to reaffirm the promise to his descendants. He does this to [[Isaac]] in [[Genesis 26]] when Isaac, fearing famine, considers leaving [[Canaan]], and going to [[Egypt]]. A generation later, the promise is affirmed to [[Jacob]] ([[Genesis 35]]). This affirmation occurs in the context of Jacob's sons deceitfully taking revenge on some Canaanite; Jacob is worried that the Canaanites will respond by attacking his family.
