Genesis 15:1-4

Listen to Genesis 15:1-4
1 Nach diesen Geschichten begab sich's, daß zu Abram geschah das Wort des HERRN im Gesicht und sprach: Fürchte dich nicht Abram! Ich bin dein Schild und dein sehr großer Lohn.
2 Abram sprach aber: HERR HERR, was willst du mir geben? Ich gehe dahin ohne Kinder; und dieser Elieser von Damaskus wird mein Haus besitzen.
3 Und Abram sprach weiter: Mir hast du keinen Samen gegeben; und siehe, einer von meinem Gesinde soll mein Erbe sein.
4 Und siehe, der HERR sprach zu ihm: Er soll nicht dein Erbe sein; sondern der von deinem Leib kommen wird, der soll dein Erbe sein. {~}

Genesis 15:1-4 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 15

This chapter informs us of a gracious appearance of God to Abram, and of a kind promise made unto him, Ge 15:1; of Abram's request for an heir, Ge 15:2,3; of an answer to it, that he should have one, and even a numberless seed, Ge 15:4,5; which he gave credit to, Ge 15:6; upon which he has a fresh promise of the land of Canaan, Ge 15:7; of his inheriting of which he desires a sign, and this was given him, Ge 15:8-12; and at the same time it was predicted to him how long his posterity should be afflicted in a land not theirs, and afterwards come out with great substance, Ge 15:13-16; and the grant of the land of Canaan to his seed is renewed, Ge 15:17-21.
