Genesis 15:8

Context
15:8 But¹ Abram² said, “O sovereign Lord,³ by what⁴ can I know that I am to possess it?”

Genesis 24:12

Context
24:12 He prayed, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham, guide me today.⁵ Be faithful⁶ to my master Abraham.

¹tn Here the vav carries adversative force and is translated “but.”

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (Abram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn See note on the phrase “sovereign Lord” in 15:2.

⁴tn Or “how.”

⁵tn Heb “make it happen before me today.” Although a number of English translations understand this as a request for success in the task (cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV) it is more likely that the servant is requesting an omen or sign from God (v. 14).

⁶tn Heb “act in loyal love with” or “show kindness to.”
