Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 15:7-11

7-11 Assurance was given to Abram of the land of Canaan for an inheritance. God never promises more than he is able to perform, as men often do. Abram did as God commanded him. He divided the beasts in the midst, according to the ceremony used in confirming covenants, Jeremiah 34:18; Jeremiah 34:19. Having prepared according to God's appointment, he set himself to wait for the sign God might give him. A watch must be kept upon our spiritual sacrifices. When vain thoughts, like these fowls, come... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 15:7-12

The covenant Sacrifice v. 7. And He said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it. In preparing to give Abram a special sign of the covenant's consummation and to assure him of the fact that his descendants would be the possessors of the land of Canaan, the Lord introduces Himself as He whose conduct in the past is a guarantee of His faithfulness in the future. v. 8. And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall... read more

Genesis GOD’S COVENANT WITH ABRAM Gen_15:5 - Gen_15:18 . 1. Abram had exposed himself to dangerous reprisals by his victory over the confederate Eastern raiders. In the reaction following the excitement of battle, dread and despondency seem to have shadowed his soul. Therefore the assurance with which this chapter opens came to him. It was new, and came in a new form. He is cast into a state of spiritual ecstasy, and a mighty ‘word’ sounds, audible to his inward ear. The form which it... read more

Abram’s Vision of the Future Genesis 15:1-21 Abram had good reason to fear the vengeance of the defeated kings; but the divine voice reassured him. For all of us there is need of a shield, because the world hates us; and for each God will be our compensation for every sacrifice we have made. Refuse to take even the shoe-latchets of Sodom, and God will be your exceeding great reward. The patriarch addressed God as Adonai Jehovah, which occurs only twice more in the Pentateuch. While he was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 15:1-21

This is the account of the fourth direct appearance of Jehovah to Abram and evidently it had direct connection with what had immediately preceded. Abram had passed through two conflicts, the first with kings, the second with the suggestion of enrichment from the treasury of Sodom. In both he had been victorious. Now the divine voice declared, first, "I am thy shield," reminding him of how his victory over the kings had been obtained; while the second word, "I am . . . thy exceeding great... read more

God's Covenant with Abram Genesis 15:1-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The dependency of God. When men make a covenant they may break their covenant. God's covenants are certified. God covenanted with Noah that there should never be another deluge. He placed His bow in the clouds as His pledge. Millenniums have passed and that covenant has never been broken. God made His covenant to Abram that he should become a great nation and that all the earth should be blessed in him. That covenant has been... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 15:11

‘And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but he drove them away.’ This totally unnecessary description of a seemingly irrelevant incidence is an evidence of the fact that this account came from an eyewitness. Yet it has in it the seed of truth. For the birds of prey are a reminder of those who will seek to prevent his descendants’ possession of the land, who as it were are even now trying to prevent the establishing of the covenant, and a reminder that they too can be driven away. It... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 15:1-21

Genesis 12:1 to Genesis 25:18 . The Story of Abraham.— In this section the three main sources, J. E, P are present. Gunkel has given strong reasons for holding that J is here made up of two main sources, one connecting Abraham with Hebron, the other with Beersheba and the Negeb. The former associates Abraham with Lot. (For details, see ICC.) On the interpretation to be placed on the figures of Abraham and the patriarchs, see the Introduction. The interest, which has hitherto been diffused... read more

Genesis 15:7-Ecclesiastes : . The Making of the Covenant.— In this scene Abraham is told that he is to inherit Canaan. He asks for confirmation of the promise. Yahweh bids him select three animals and two birds, such as were eligible for sacrifice, though they were not to be used precisely for this purpose. The animals were divided into two equal portions, but in conformity with later sacrificial usage ( Leviticus 1:17) not the birds. Presumably the turtle dove was placed on the one side, the... read more
