Génesis 15:1-4

1 Pacto del Señor
con Abram
Tiempo después, el Señor
le habló a Abram en una visión y le dijo:
—No temas, Abram, porque yo te protegeré, y tu recompensa será grande.

2 Abram le respondió:
—Oh Señor
Soberano, ¿de qué sirven todas tus bendiciones si ni siquiera tengo un hijo? Ya que tú no me has dado hijos, Eliezer de Damasco, un siervo de los de mi casa, heredará toda mi riqueza.

3 Tú no me has dado descendientes propios, así que uno de mis siervos será mi heredero.

4 Después el Señor
le dijo:
—No, tu siervo no será tu heredero, porque tendrás un hijo propio, quien será tu heredero.

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.
