Gn 15,1-4 - Abram je už dlhší čas v Kanaáne, ale stále je tu ako cudzinec, ktorý sa musí bedlivo starať o svoj majetok. Za jeho dôveru Boh mu teraz prisľubuje ochranu a odmenu, a to vo videní, čiže zjavení. Táto Božia láska dodáva Abramovi smelosti, aby sa požaloval na svoj osud a aby poprosil Pána o ďalšiu priazeň. Čo mu osoží všetko bohatstvo, sláva a zem, keď ju nebude mať komu zanechať? Nemá potomka, teda pre cudzieho sa namáha: "damašský Eliezer bude majiteľom môjho domu". Eliezer bol asi Abramovým otrokom. Volá sa domorodý, lebo sa narodil už v Abramovom dome z otrockých rodičov. Možno predpokladať, že po odlúčení sa od Lota mal Abram úmysel urobiť ho svojím dedičom. Tu Abram vyjadruje prvý raz Pánovi svoju nespokojnosť.

Prešiel sám, lebo jeho zmluva bola jednostranná, keďže to nie je zmluva medzi rovnocennými partnermi (9,9). Ide o slávnostnú zmluvu, spečatenú prísahou (prechodom pomedzi rozpolené zvieratá).
