Genesis 15-17

It took me about 7 minutes to read this passage which recounted two covenants, and one poor plan. In 15 God makes a covenant with Abram about his descendants. Specifically, that they would posess the land in which Abram dwelt as an outsider. In 17 God covenants with Abraham that his descendants would be many, and the source of kings. The first covenant was accepted when Abram made an animal sacrifice. The second was accepted when Abraham made his body a living sacrifice.
