창세기 12:4 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 12:4-5

Here is, I. Abraham's removal out of his country, out of Ur first and afterwards out of Haran, in compliance with the call of God: So Abram departed; he was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, but did as he was bidden, not conferring with flesh and blood, Gal. 1:15, 16. His obedience was speedy and without delay, submissive and without dispute; for he went out, not knowing whither he went (Heb. 11:8), but knowing whom he followed and under whose direction he went. Thus God called him to... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 12:4

So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him ,.... Or, "when the Lord had spoken to him", as Cocceius renders the words; when he had called him a second time, even when in Haran, immediately after the death of his father Terah; as soon as ever the words were spoken to him before recorded, he immediately prepared and got all things ready for his journey, and departed from Haran, as he had done before from Ur of the Chaldees: and Lot went with him ; of his own accord, and he only,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 12:4

And Abram was seventy and five years old - As Abram was now seventy-five years old, and his father Terah had just died, at the age of two hundred and five, consequently Terah must have been one hundred and thirty when Abram was born; and the seventieth year of his age mentioned Genesis 11:26 , was the period at which Haran, not Abram, was born. See on Genesis 11 (note). read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 12:4

Verse 4 4.So Abram departed. They who suppose that God was now speaking to Abram in Charran, lay hold of these words in support of their error. But the cavil is easily refuted; for after Moses has mentioned the cause of their departure, namely, that Abram had been constrained by the command of God to leave his native soil, he now returns to the thread of the history. Why Abram for a time should have remained in Charran, we do not know, except that God laid his hand upon him, to prevent him from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 12:1-5

Designed to trace the outward development of God's kingdom on the earth, the narrative now concentrates its attention on one of the foregoing Terachites, whose remarkable career it sketches with considerable minuteness of detail, from the period of his emigration from Chaldea to his death at Hebron in the land of Canaan. Distinguished as a man of undoubted superiority both of character and mind, the head of at least two powerful and important races, and standing, as one might say, on the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 12:1-5

The preparations of grace. We may call this the genesis of the kingdom of God. I. It is FOUNDED in the word of the Divine covenant, the faith given by Divine grace to individuals, the separation unto newness of life. II. The one man Abram gathers round him a small SOCIETY , kindred with him by the flesh, but bound to him doubtless by spiritual bonds as well. Tiros God has sanctified the family life by making it as the nidus of the spiritual genesis. When the new kingdom began... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 12:4

So (literally, and) Abram departed —from Ur of the Chaldees, or from Haran ( vide supra )— as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him . Lot's name being repeated here because of his connection with the ensuing narrative. And Abram was seventy and five years old —literally, a son of five years and seventy years (cf. Genesis 7:6 )— when he departed —literally, in his going forth upon the second stage of his journey— from Haran . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 12:4

The Chaldaean emigrant. I. THE CALL OF GOD . Whether spoken in a dream or distinctly articulated by a human form, the voice which summoned Abram to emigrate from Ur was recognized by the patriarch to be Divine; and so is the gospel invitation, which through the medium of a written word has been conveyed to men, essentially a message from the-lips of God. The call which Abram received was— 1. Distinguishing and selecting— coming to him alone of all the members of Terah's... read more
