Genesis 15:8
“And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?”
KJV
Read in Genesis 15Meaning
Abram asks how he may know that he will possess the land, seeking assurance concerning the promise.
Read carefully
Abram's request for assurance follows his faith in verse 6; the narrative does not present every request for confirmation as unbelief.
Reflection
The passage invites trust in God's faithfulness while keeping promise, waiting, and fulfillment in their proper narrative order.
