We learned in class today that God promised Avraham two things:
1. That Avraham will get his own descendent to be the one to get the yerusha.
2.That Avraham will inherit the land
Avraham was quite confused by these promises because he firstly did not have children of his own, but the closest that came to his son was Eliezer. Secondly, Avraham did not understand how he can get the land because he just lost it to the Kings in the war.
God promised him that after the Jews will be in Mizraim they will inherit all this land.
My question is: How does that make sense? God did not promise this under a condition( He didnt say that the Jews will only get it if they will be good) therefore how is it possible that the Jews did not get all of the land?
Good question. Zahava, I don't like your answer. That just seems mean. If he promised it to them, He has to give it to them. It's His fault for making the promise.
ReplyDeleteI do get what you're saying with the slave thing, though
