416. Internal Meaning of Genesis, Chapter 15

1-6 Since there was as yet only multiplication of truth, and not the fructification of good, and thus not the church, He was urgent that the church might exist with Him;

7-21 but it is foretold what the church and its conjunction with the Lord would be, namely, that it would be perverted.

Genesis 15:1-6

Studie

      

1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

2 Abram said, "Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"

3 Abram said, "Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir."

4 Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."

5 Yahweh brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." He said to Abram, "So shall your seed be."

6 He believed in Yahweh; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.
