Genesis chapter 15

01

God spoke to Abram in a

vision, ‘Do not be afraid,
Abram. I am your shield,
your very great reward.’

02

Abram protested,
‘Sovereign Lord, You
have not given me any
children and the person
who will inherit all I have
is my servant, Eliezer of
Damascus.’

03
‘Eliezer not inherit but a son
of yours will,’ God replied.
God took Abram out to look
at the night sky. ‘Look up at
the sky and count the stars
—if indeed you can count
them. Your offspring will be
as numerous as the stars.’
 04 MY NOTES

Abram believed what God

told him. God declared, ‘I am
the Lord, who brought you
out of Ur of the Chaldeans to
give you this land.’

05
‘Sovereign Lord, how can
I know that I will gain this
land?’ Abram asked.
God told him to bring a
heifer, a goat and a ram,
each three years old, along
with a dove and a young
pigeon.

06

Abram obeyed and

sacrificed the animals
cutting all but the birds in
half.

07

He laid their carcasses,

arranged in the halves,
opposite each other.
Birds of prey came down
but Abram drove them
away.

08
As the sun set Abram fell
into a deep sleep and a
dreadful darkness came
over him. God warned that
Abram’s descendants would
be mistreated as slaves in
a strange country for 400
years.
 09
The God explained He
would will punish the nation
that made them slaves, and
deliver them. They would
leave that land with great
possessions to live in the
land God had promised. God
promised Abram he would
live in peace to an old age .

10
When the sun had set a
smoking firepot with a
blazing torch appeared
and passed between the
carcasses Abram had
laid on the ground. God
promised Abram to give his
descendants the land from
the Wadi of Egypt to the
river Euphrates.

However, Abraham and 11

his wife Sarai became
older and older without
having a family of their
own. The son God
promised did not arrive
and Sarai became too old
to have children. Would
God keep His promise?
How would Abram have
descendants?
