INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 15
This chapter informs us of a gracious appearance of God to Abram, and of a kind promise made unto him, Genesis 15:1 ; of Abram's request for an heir, Genesis 15:2 ; of an answer to it, that he should have one, and even a numberless seed, Genesis 15:4 ; which he gave credit to, Genesis 15:6 ; upon which he has a fresh promise of the land of Canaan, Genesis 15:7 ; of his inheriting of which he desires a sign, and this was given him, Genesis 15:8 ; 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, Genesis 15:13 ; and the grant of the land of Canaan to his seed is renewed, Genesis 15:17 .
