DAY THREE
Read Genesis 13:14-18 and 15:1-21
- In Genesis 13:14-18, what did the Lord say to Abram?
- What was Abram's response in Genesis 15:2-4?
- What was God's answer in 15:5?
- What does Genesis 15:6 say about Abram?
- What do we learn from 15:18?
- How do you suppose Sarai fit into this covenant from the Lord?
- Do you think Abram shared all these things with Sarai?
We already know that Abram and Sarai were considerably older when the Lord made this covenant with them. Time had passed since they traveled from Haran to Egypt and back to Canaan. If Sarai was 65 years old when they journeyed from Haran, she would have been much older at this point. Life expectancy at that time was approximately 120 years. Sarai had already exceeded the half way point and was in her senior years of life. Clearly her childbearing years were well past.
