• How does the passage help me know God better?
• How does the passage help me understand how God expects me to live in relation with others?

The passage (15:1-21) tells how Abram was given a son but also was told that his descendants would be strangers in another country and would be mistreated for 400 years.

The second passage (17:1-8) tells how the covenant was fulfilled and abram became abraham and inherited the land of Canaan.
