Gênesis 15:4 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 15:4

And behold, the word of the Lord [came] unto him
Either having disappeared, and then came a second time, or he again spoke unto him:

saying, this shall not be thine heir;
this Eliezer, this servant of thine, as thou hast made him, or hast intended to make him, giving up all hopes of having issue by Sarai:

but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine
heir;
that is, one shall inherit all thou hast, that shall be begotten by thee; an own son of Abram's, and not a servant born in his house; one that should spring out of his own loins: the Vulgate Latin version renders it, "out of thy womb", that is, out of his wife's, which was his; the phrase designs a genuine and legitimate son of his, who would be legally his heir.

Gênesis 15:4 In-Context

2 Então disse Abrão: Ó Senhor Deus, que me darás, visto que morro sem filhos, e o herdeiro de minha casa é o damasceno Eliézer?
3 Disse mais Abrão: A mim não me tens dado filhos; eis que um nascido na minha casa será o meu herdeiro.
4 Ao que lhe veio a palavra do Senhor, dizendo: Este não será o teu herdeiro; mas aquele que sair das tuas entranhas, esse será o teu herdeiro.
5 Então o levou para fora, e disse: Olha agora para o céu, e conta as estrelas, se as podes contar; e acrescentou-lhe: Assim será a tua descendência.
6 E creu Abrão no Senhor, e o Senhor imputou-lhe isto como justiça.
