SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:17
¶ Y sucedió que puesto el sol, y hubo una oscuridad, y he aquí un horno de humo, y una antorcha de fuego que pasó por entre las mitades.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 15:17
Verse 17. Smoking furnace and a burning lamp] Probably the smoking furnace might be designed as an emblem of the sore afflictions of the Israelites in Egypt; but the burning lamp was certainly the symbol of the Divine presence, which, passing between the pieces, ratified the covenant with Abram, as the following verse immediately states.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-21 - The smoking furnace and the burning lamp, probably represented the Israelites' severe trials and joyful deliverance, with their graciou supports in the mean time. It is probable that this furnace and lamp which passed between the pieces, burned and consumed them, and s completed the sacrifice, and testified God's acceptance of it. So is intimates that God's covenants with man are made by sacrifice, Ps 50:5 And we may know that he accepts our sacrifices, if he kindles in ou souls pious and devout affections. The bounds of the land granted ar stated. Several nations, or tribes, are spoken of, that must be cas out to make room for the seed of Abram. In this chapter we perceive in Abram faith struggling against, and triumphing over, unbelief. Wonde not, believers, if you meet with seasons of darkness and distress. But it is not the will of God that you should be cast down: fear not; for all that he was to Abram he will be to you __________________________________________________________________
