Shiurim in Chumash and Navi by Menachem Leibtag. 0000019705 00000 n The 7-Fold Promise in the Abrahamic Covenant - Albert Finch Ministry You shall be the father of many nations : This speaks of CREATIVE ABILITY. BBC International Dear Dr. Eugene Kim, Thank you Sir for responding to my comment (reference a) Its obvious by your response you havent read the blog I sent you about why Brick and Mortar Buildings called churches are not biblical. God has always love to deal with Man in covenants.A covenant is an agreement between two people sealed by an oath of blood.Gods blessings are free but are conditional.If the blessings are unconditional,then it is called a promise.This means you have a part to play to commit His integrity to play His.Abraham had obeyed God to sacrifice his only Son and leave his country and family to strange land before the blessings were released ;In response,God then made him a blessing to all generations.God takes Obedience pretty seriously. . No. "I will give to you and to your posterity after you, the land": This speaks of OWNERSHIP,WEALTH. Who are these nations? The answer is by no means clear from the text. Many commentators assume they are to be the descendants of Isaac and that the Bible is talking exclusively about the Jewish people. 23. 35.Rashi regards Isaac and Jacob as being offspring who will be sojourners in a land not their own. Following Seder Olam, his chronology is Isaac was 60 years old when Jacob was born (Genesis 25:26), and Jacob was 130 years old when he went down to Egypt (Genesis 47:9). The Israelites were therefore in Egypt for 210 years. On the other hand, we have argued that Canaan was already deeded to Abraham. Plus, the Bible itself states that the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years (Exodus 12:40). These remain difficulties. Most nations are also endogenous to a land. Their country of birth defines their nationality and that country has been linked to that nationality from time immemorial. But this is not how it is to be for Abraham and his descendants. Everything is to be a gift from God and has to be earned children, land, and even agricultural sustenance on this land. I will make you a great nation.
