MEDITATION
Genesis 13:14-18
14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward;
15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever.
16 And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered.
17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”
18 Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the LORD.

沉思
《创世记 13:14-18》
14罗得离别亚伯兰以后,耶和华对亚伯兰说:“从你所在的地方,你举目向东西南北观看,
15凡你所看见的一切地,我都要赐给你和你的后裔,直到永远。
16我也要使你的后裔如同地上的尘沙那样多,人若能数算地上的尘沙,才能数算你的后裔。
17你起来,纵横走遍这地,因为我必把这地赐给你。”18亚伯兰就搬了帐篷,来到希伯仑幔利的橡树那里居住,在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛。
