Psalms 105:10
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
BSB
ASV
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
KJV
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law. Jacob in his wondrous dream (Ge 28:10-15) received a pledge that the Lord's mode of procedure with him would be in accordance with covenant relations: for said Jehovah, "I will not leave thee till I have done that which I have spoken to thee of." Thus, if we may so speak with all reverence, the covenant became a law unto the Lord himself by which he bound himself to act.
The covenant was often ratified. word--answering to "covenant" [Ps 105:9] in the parallel clause, namely, the word of promise, which, according to Ps 105:10, He set forth for an inviolable law. commanded--or, "ordained" (Ps 68:28). to a thousand generations--perpetually.
