Genesi 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.

Genesi 13:15 In-Context

13 Ora gli uomini di Sodoma erano grandemente scellerati e peccatori contro al Signore.

14 E il Signore disse ad Abramo, dopo che Lot si fu separato d’appresso a lui: Alza ora gli occhi tuoi, e riguarda, dal luogo ove tu sei, verso il Settentrione, verso il Mezzodì, verso l’Oriente, e verso l’Occidente.

15 Perciocchè io darò a te ed alla tua progenie, in perpetuo, il paese che tu vedi.

16 E farò che la tua progenie sarà come la polvere della terra; che se alcuno può annoverar la polvere della terra, anche potrassi annoverar la tua progenie.

17 Levati, va’ attorno per lo paese, per largo e per lungo; perciocchè io tel darò.
