Genesis 15:17 Summary
[Genesis 15:17 is a powerful picture of God's presence and acceptance of Abram's sacrifice, where a smoking firepot and flaming torch appear and pass between the halves of the carcasses, symbolizing God's covenant with Abram. This event reminds us that God is always with us, even in the darkest moments, as seen in Psalm 23:4. Just as God sealed His covenant with Abram, He has also made a covenant with us through Jesus Christ, promising to be our God and to give us eternal life, as seen in John 3:16. By trusting in God's faithfulness and promises, we can have confidence in His presence and power in our lives.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the smoking firepot and flaming torch in Genesis 15:17?
The smoking firepot and flaming torch represent God's presence and acceptance of Abram's sacrifice, as seen in other biblical accounts like Exodus 13:21-22, where God led the Israelites with a pillar of cloud and fire.
Why did God choose to appear to Abram at night, after the sun had set?
God often chooses to reveal Himself in the darkest moments, as seen in Psalm 23:4, where David trusts in God's presence even in the valley of the shadow of death, and in this case, God's appearance at night signifies His power and presence in the midst of uncertainty.
What is the importance of the firepot and torch passing between the halves of the carcasses?
The act of passing between the halves symbolizes God's covenant with Abram, where God takes upon Himself the responsibility of fulfilling the promise, as seen in Jeremiah 34:18-19, where the breaking of a covenant is represented by the cutting of animals in half.
How does this verse relate to the covenant God makes with Abram in the following verses?
Genesis 15:17 sets the stage for the covenant God makes with Abram in Genesis 15:18-19, where God promises to give Abram's descendants the land from the river of Egypt to the great River Euphrates, and this covenant is sealed with the smoking firepot and flaming torch, representing God's commitment to His promise.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's presence and power, even in the darkest moments?
- How can I apply the principle of God's covenant with Abram to my own life, trusting in His faithfulness and promises?
- What are some ways I can symbolically 'pass between the halves' and surrender my life to God's will, just as Abram did in this passage?
- In what ways can I remember and reflect on God's Presence in my life, just as the smoking firepot and flaming torch served as a reminder of God's presence for Abram?
Gill's Exposition on Genesis 15:17
And it came to pass, when the sun went down,.... It was going down when the deep sleep fell on Abram, and now it was quite gone or set: and it was dark; which is not always the case as soon as the
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 15:17
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. When the sun went down, and it was dark.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 15:17
By which symbol God designed to represent, either, 1. The future state of Abram’ s seed; the smoking furnace signifying Israel’ s misery in the iron furnace of Egypt, as it is called, ; and the burning lamp noting their deliverance, or light shining out of darkness. Or, 2. His own presence; for God is called a consuming fire, ; and both smoke and fire are elsewhere mentioned as the signs and means of God’ s appearance. See 19:9,16,18 20:18. And this sense seems to be favoured by the following words, it being the custom of persons entering into covenant to pass between such pieces as hath been said; and because God hath no body which could visibly do so, therefore he doth it in this type or shadow.
Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 15:17
Genesis 15:17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.Ver. 17. A smoking furnace, and a burning lamp.] Figuring out either God (who is a consuming fire) cutting covenant, per condescensum ; or else, the furnace of Israel’ s affliction, and then the lamp of their salvation.
Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 15:17
(17) A smoking furnace.—The word really means the circular firepot which Orientals use in their houses to sit round for purposes of warmth. This one was wreathed in smoke, out of which shot “a burning lamp” (Heb., a torch of flame). For not two symbols, but only one, passed between the divided carcases. Abram had probably passed between them immediately after arranging them, and now Jehovah does the same. Fire is the recognised symbol of the Deity, as in the burning bush, the pillar of fire, the lightnings on Mount Sinai, &c.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 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.
Cambridge Bible on Genesis 15:17
17. a smoking furnace] The sign of the covenant is given in the appearance of a kiln, from which issued smoke and a blazing torch; and this passed through the two rows of the divided carcases. The figure described as a “smoking furnace” (tannur) was that of a clay constructed kiln, or furnace, such as is used for baking purposes by the Fellaheen. It is the κλίβανος = “oven,” of Matthew 6:30. For the fire and smoke as a symbol of the Theophany, see Exodus 13:21; Exodus 19:18; Exodus 24:17.
Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 15:17
17. When the sun went down, and it was dark — The progress of time is marked; in Genesis 15:12, when the sun was going down; here when it went down, and darkness was on all things.
