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 ven a la tierra que te mostraré.
4 Entonces salió de la tierra de los caldeos, y habitó en Harán; y de allí, muerto su padre, le traspasó a esta tierra, en la cual vosotros habitáis ahora;
5 y no le dio herencia en ella, ni aun para asentar un pie; mas le prometió que se la daría en posesión, y a su simiente después de él, no teniendo hijo.
6 Y le habló Dios así: Que su simiente sería extranjera en tierra ajena, y que los sujetarían a servidumbre y maltratarían, por cuatrocientos años.
7 Mas yo juzgaré, dijo Dios, los gentiles a los cuales serán siervos; y después de esto saldrán y me servirán en este lugar.
