Genèse 13:15 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 13:15

For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it,
&c.] Not only so much of it as his eye could reach, but all of it, as far as it went, which way soever he looked; and this he gave him to sojourn in now where he pleased, and for his posterity to dwell in hereafter; he gave him the title to it now, and to them the possession of it for future times: and to thy seed for ever;
the meaning is, that he gave it to his posterity to be enjoyed by them until the Messiah came, when a new world would begin; and which Abram in person shall enjoy, with all his spiritual seed, after the resurrection, when that part of the earth will be renewed, as the rest; and where particularly Christ will make his personal appearance and residence, the principal seed of Abram, and will reign a thousand years; (See Gill on Matthew 22:32); besides, this may be typical of the heavenly Canaan given to Abram, and all his spiritual seed, and which shall be enjoyed by them for evermore.

Genèse 13:15 In-Context

13 Les gens de Sodome étaient méchants, et de grands pécheurs contre l'Eternel.
14 L'Eternel dit à Abram, après que Lot se fut séparé de lui: Lève les yeux, et, du lieu où tu es, regarde vers le nord et le midi, vers l'orient et l'occident;
15 car tout le pays que tu vois, je le donnerai à toi et à ta postérité pour toujours.
16 Je rendrai ta postérité comme la poussière de la terre, en sorte que, si quelqu'un peut compter la poussière de la terre, ta postérité aussi sera comptée.
17 Lève-toi, parcours le pays dans sa longueur et dans sa largeur; car je te le donnerai.
