God's covenant with Abram; the promise of the land
God counted Abram's faith as righteousness and covenanted to give his offspring the land, foretelling four hundred years of affliction for his descendants in a land not theirs (Genesis 15:6, 13-16). Scripture places it between the call and Ishmael's birth without a year.
📖 Genesis 15:1–3
1After these events, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” 2But Abram replied, “O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3Abram continued, “Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
