Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 12:7

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

7. Unto thy seed will I give this land —God was dealing with Abram not in his private and personal capacity merely, but with a view to high and important interests in future ages. That land his posterity was for centuries to inhabit as a peculiar people; the seeds of divine knowledge were to be sown there for the benefit of all mankind; and considered in its geographical situation, it was chosen in divine wisdom as the fittest of all lands to serve as the cradle of a divine revelation designed for the whole world. and there builded he an altar unto the Lord —By this solemn act of devotion Abram made an open profession of his religion, established the worship of the true God, and declared his faith in the promise. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
