This chapter struck me as really beautiful. You promised Abram that You’d take care of him, in many different ways. A little fragmentary. Interesting, how You said the time wasn’t right because ‘the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete,’ like You were just sitting, waiting for them to mess up enough that You could punish them. But at the same time could alost be seen as You letting them make their own decisions, waiting to see what they’ll do. I can’t imagined You’d have still destroyed them if they had repented. Also, poor Eliezer, who’s mentioned just this once. Really interesting mixture of complete belief--I believe I’ll have a son--and questioning. Again, though, You don’t seem to mind Abram questioning You. That’s good to know. :)
