Genesis 9:7

9:7 But as for you,¹ be fruitful and multiply; increase abundantly on the earth and multiply on it.”

Genesis 15:8

Context
15:8 But² Abram³ said, “O sovereign Lord,⁴ by what⁵ can I know that I am to possess it?”

¹sn The disjunctive clause (conjunction + pronominal subject + verb) here indicates a strong contrast to what has preceded. Against the backdrop of the warnings about taking life, God now instructs the people to produce life, using terms reminiscent of the mandate given to Adam (Gen 1:28).

²tn Here the vav carries adversative force and is translated “but.”

³tn Heb “he”; the referent (Abram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴tn See note on the phrase “sovereign Lord” in 15:2.

⁵tn Or “how.”
