This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen 15:1-21. Divine encouragement.
After these things - the conquest of the invading kings.
the word of the Lord - a phrase used, when connected with a vision, to denote a prophetic message.
Fear not, Abram - When the excitement of the enterprise was over, he had become a prey to despondency and terror at the probable revenge that might be meditated against him. To dispel his fear, he was favored with this gracious announcement. Having such a promise, how well did it become him (and all God’s people who have the same promise) to dismiss fears, and cast all burdens on the Lord (Psa 27:3).
