Ge 15:1-21.
DIVINE ENCOURAGEMENT.
1. 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
(Ps 27:3).

2. 主耶和华啊，你还赐我什么呢？——在他心中，“我是你极大的赏赐”
[Ge 15:1]
这一宣告只有一种意义，或只从一个角度看，即与应许的成就相关；而他仍经历着盼望迟延的痛苦。
Original em inglês
2. Lord God, what wilt thou give?--To his mind the declaration, "I am thy exceeding great reward"
[Ge 15:1],
had but one meaning, or was viewed but in one particular light, as bearing on the fulfilment of the promise, and he was still experiencing the sickness of hope deferred.

3. 大马色的以利以谢……那生在我家中的人就是我的后嗣——按游牧部族的习俗，他的首要亲信仆人会继承他的产业和尊荣。但这人只能借收养成为他的儿子；那与神所鼓励他存有的父母之望相比，相去何等远！他的话显出他心中隐藏着烦躁之灵，也许是因他素来著称的美德——绝对顺服神的时间与方式来成就其应许——暂时失了。

3. Eliezer of Damascus . . . one born in my house is mine heir--According to the usage of nomadic tribes, his chief confidential servant, would be heir to his possessions and honors. But this man could have become his son only by adoption; and how sadly would that have come short of the parental hopes he had been encouraged to entertain! His language betrayed a latent spirit of fretfulness or perhaps a temporary failure in the very virtue for which he is so renowned--and absolute submission to God's time, as well as way, of accomplishing His promise.

4. 这人必不成为你的后嗣——对他前段的话没有答复；但他以更恰当的顺服之灵重提这话，“我怎能知道必得这地为业呢”
[Ge 15:8]，
他便因一个最明确的迦南应许而喜乐，这应许随即以一个特别的仪式予以证实。
Original em inglês
4. This shall not be thine heir--To the first part of his address no reply was given; but having renewed it in a spirit of more becoming submission, "whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it"
[Ge 15:8],
he was delighted by a most explicit promise of Canaan, which was immediately confirmed by a remarkable ceremony.

9-21. 你为我取一只母牛，等——在重大场合，当两方或多方订立盟约时，他们或者照亚伯拉罕所行的同样礼仪而行，或者（若不照行的话）便请灯作见证。按照这些从古以来铭刻在东方人心中的观念，主自己竟降卑与亚伯拉罕立约。这位列祖并未从祭物中间经过，其原因是在这交易中他并没有承担什么。他求一个记号，神便乐意给他一个记号，按东方的观念，神借此约束了自己。照样，神也与我们立了约；在独生子的荣耀中，他经过了神与我们之间，一切信的人，便像亚伯拉罕一样，因着圣灵的恩赐而有一个记号或凭据，借此可以知道他们必得着那天上的迦南。
Original em inglês
9-21. Take me an heifer, &c.--On occasions of great importance, when two or more parties join in a compact, they either observe precisely the same rites as Abram did, or, where they do not, they invoke the lamp as their witness. According to these ideas, which have been from time immemorial engraven on the minds of Eastern people, the Lord Himself condescended to enter into covenant with Abram. The patriarch did not pass between the sacrifice and the reason was that in this transaction he was bound to nothing. He asked a sign, and God was pleased to give him a sign, by which, according to Eastern ideas, He bound Himself. In like manner God has entered into covenant with us; and in the glory of the only-begotten Son, who passed through between God and us, all who believe have, like Abram, a sign or pledge in the gift of the Spirit, whereby they may know that they shall inherit the heavenly Canaan.
Ge 15:1-21.
神的鼓励。
1. 这些事以后——即征服了那些入侵的诸王之后。
耶和华的话——这个词组与异象相关时，用以指先知性的信息。
亚伯兰，你不要惧怕——当那场征战的兴奋过后，他因可能遭受报复而陷入沮丧与恐惧之中。为消除他的惧怕，神赐给他这个恩惠的宣告。既有这样的应许，他（以及所有拥有同样应许的神的儿女）就当放下恐惧，将一切重担交托给耶和华
(Ps 27:3)。
