Exegesis
The verse begins with venatati {וְנָתַתִּי | wə-nā-ṯat-tî} ‘and I will give’, a Qal perfect with prefixed vav that conveys future covenant promise.
In context — Genesis 17:8
I will give to you and to your descendants after you the land where you live as a foreigner, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession , and I will be God to them.
