Génesis 15:8 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 15:8

And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall
inherit it?
] Not as questioning or doubting whether he should or not; but this he asked for the further confirmation of his faith in the promise, and for the sake of his posterity, that they might more easily and strongly believe that they should inherit the land given and promised to them; nor is it culpable to ask a sign of God with such a view; good men have done it, as Gideon, ( Judges 6:36-40 ) , and Hezekiah, ( 2 Kings 20:8-11 ) , without being blamed for it; yea, Ahaz is blamed for not asking one, ( Isaiah 7:10-13 ) .

Génesis 15:8 In-Context

6 Y Abram creyó en el SEÑOR, y El se lo reconoció por justicia.
7 Y le dijo: Yo soy el SEÑOR que te saqué de Ur de los caldeos, para darte esta tierra para que la poseas.
8 Y él le dijo: Oh Señor DIOS, ¿cómo puedo saber que la poseeré?
9 El le respondió: Tráeme una novilla de tres años, una cabra de tres años, un carnero de tres años, una tórtola y un pichón.
10 El le trajo todos éstos y los partió por la mitad, y puso cada mitad enfrente de la otra; mas no partió las aves.
