Genesis 15:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 15:5

3 Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed ^aone born in my house is my heir!”

4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who ^awill come from your own body shall be your heir.”

5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and ^acount the ^bstars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, ^c“So shall your ^ddescendants be.”

6 And he ^abelieved in the Lord, and He ^baccounted it to him for righteousness.

7 Then He said to him, “I am the Lord, who ^abrought you out of ^bUr of the Chaldeans, ^cto give you this land to inherit it.”

8 And he said, “Lord God, ^ahow shall I know that I will inherit it?”
