And God had already taken a covenant from the Children of Israel, and We raised twelve leaders from among them. *_{Genesis 49:28}*, *_{1Chronicles 2:1} - 2 And God said, "I am with you. If you establish prayer and give purifying [alms] and believe in My messengers and honor them and loan God a good loan, I will surely remove your misdeeds from you and admit you to Gardens in which rivers flow beneath them. But whoever among you disbelieves after that has certainly strayed from the even path."
