Verse 14
THE PROMISE RENEWED TO ABRAM, Genesis 13:14-18.
14. After that Lot was separated from him Now, in the gracious providence of Jehovah, the father of the faithful is cut loose from all his kindred according to the flesh . Thoroughly separated from home, country, and kin, (comp . Genesis 12:1,) he is free to move in the line of the divine call and purpose .
In this renewal of the promise to Abram, (Genesis 13:14-17,) we notice the following:
1.)
Look Feast thine eyes on it in all directions.
2.) It is thine for ever, and will be known through the centuries as the Land of Promise.
3.) Thy seed shall be as the multitudinous particles of the dust of the earth, innumerable by man.
4.)
Walk through the land At pleasure; survey it as thine own, although thou, in thy lifetime, dost not possess it.
5.) Know and remember it as a GIFT. אתננה , I will give it, is twice repeated. Genesis 13:15; Genesis 13:17.
