Génesis 15:1-4

Dios hace un pacto con Abram

1 Después de esto, la palabra del SEÑOR vino a Abram en una visión:«No temas, Abram.Yo soy tu escudo,y muy grande será tu recompensa».
2 Pero Abram le respondió:—SEÑOR y Dios, ¿para qué vas a darme algo, si aún sigo sin tener hijos, y el heredero[a] de mis bienes será Eliezer de Damasco?
3 Como no me has dado ningún hijo, mi herencia la recibirá uno de mis criados.
4 —¡No! Ese hombre no ha de ser tu heredero —le contestó el SEÑOR—. Tu heredero será tu propio hijo.

Génesis 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.
