Hechos 7:5

5 No le dio en ella heredad, ni siquiera la medida de la planta del pie, y sin embargo, aunque no tenía hijo, prometió que SE LA DARIA EN POSESION A EL Y A SU DESCENDENCIA DESPUES DE EL.

Hechos 7:5 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 7:5

And he gave him none inheritance in it
To be personally enjoyed by him; and which was a great trial to Abraham's faith, to be brought out of his country, and into another land, and which was promised to him and his; and yet, as not the whole, so not a single part of it was given him to possess:

no, not so much as to set his foot on:
so that when Sarah his wife died, he was obliged to buy a piece of ground for a burying place to bury her in: and which could not be said to be given him by the Lord, for he bought it with his money:

yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and
to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child;
which was another exercise of Abraham's faith, that he should have a whole country promised him and his seed, and yet had no seed given him; see ( Genesis 12:7 ) ( 13:15 ) ( Genesis 15:2 Genesis 15:3 Genesis 15:7 ) .

Hechos 7:5 In-Context

3 y le dijo: "SAL DE TU TIERRA Y DE TU PARENTELA, Y VE A LA TIERRA QUE YO TE MOSTRARE."
4 Entonces él salió de la tierra de los caldeos y se radicó en Harán. Y de allí, después de la muerte de su padre, Dios lo trasladó a esta tierra en la cual ahora vosotros habitáis.
5 No le dio en ella heredad, ni siquiera la medida de la planta del pie, y sin embargo, aunque no tenía hijo, prometió que SE LA DARIA EN POSESION A EL Y A SU DESCENDENCIA DESPUES DE EL.
6 Y Dios dijo así: "Que SUS DESCENDIENTES SERIAN EXTRANJEROS EN UNA TIERRA EXTRAÑA, Y QUE SERIAN ESCLAVIZADOS Y MALTRATADOS POR CUATROCIENTOS AÑOS.
7 "PERO YO MISMO JUZGARE A CUALQUIER NACION DE LA CUAL SEAN ESCLAVOS"dijo Dios"Y DESPUES DE ESO SALDRAN Y ME SERVIRAN EN ESTE LUGAR."
