וְהֵבֵאתִ֤י אֶתְכֶם֙ אֶל־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֤ר נָשָׂ֙אתִי֙ אֶת־יָדִ֔י לָתֵ֣ת אֹתָ֔הּ לְאַבְרָהָ֥ם לְיִצְחָ֖ק וּֽלְיַעֲקֹ֑ב וְנָתַתִּ֨י אֹתָ֥הּ לָכֶ֛ם מוֹרָשָׁ֖ה אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
Y os meteré en la tierra, por la cual alcé mi mano que la daría á Abraham, á Isaac y á Jacob: y yo os la daré por heredad. YO SEÑOR.

Ramban on Exodus
AND I WILL BRING YOU IN UNTO THE LAND CONCERNING WHICH I LIFTED UP MY HAND. “I have lifted it up to swear by My throne.” Thus the language of Rashi. Rabbi Abraham ibn Ezra said that it is an idiom [denoting the exercise of power], just like a man who lifts his hand to the heavens and swears, such as: For I lift up My hand to heaven43Ibid., Verse 40. [to take an oath of vengeance]; And he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore.44Daniel 12:7.
By way of the Truth, [the mystic lore of the Cabala], I lifted up My hand means that “I have raised the strength of My arm to Myself that I will give them the Land.” Similarly, For I lift up My hand to heaven43Ibid., Verse 40. means that “I will lift up the great hand to the heavens since it abounds in eternal life.”45According to Meir Abusaula (see Preface, Vol. I, p. XII, Note 21) the thought suggested here is that His Name will forever be in Israel’s midst, and thus He assured them eternal life. But the verse, And he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven,44Daniel 12:7. has no relevance here, for that was said concerning the angel clothed in linen,46Daniel 12:6. who swore by Him that liveth for ever.44Daniel 12:7.
