Wesley's Notes

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

5. into the land of Canaan . they came-with his wife and an orphan nephew. Abram reached his destination in safety, and thus the first promise was made good.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

12:4,5 Abram believed that the blessing of the Almighty would make up for all he could lose or leave behind, supply all his wants, and answer and exceed all his desires; and he knew that nothing but misery would follow disobedience. Such believers, being justified by faith in Christ, have peace with God. They hold on their way to Canaan. They are not discouraged by the difficulties in their way, nor drawn aside by the delights they meet with. Those who set out for heaven must persevere to the end. What we undertake, in obedience to God's command, and in humble attendance on his providence, will certainly succeed, and end with comfort at last. Canaan was not, as other lands, a mere outward possession, but a type of heaven, and in this respect the patriarchs so earnestly prized it.

Genesis 13:6 And the land could not sustain them while dwelling together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to remain together.

Genesis 14:14 When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

Leviticus 22:11 But if a priest buys a slave as his property with his money, that one may eat of it, and those who are born in his house may eat of his food.
