Gen 15:15 As for yourself, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
I thought for sure I was going to be reading something about Noah. Instead I find we've skipped to Abram.
Some things I found interesting were his name change. Abram: great father = Abraham: father of multitudes. It was on my foot notes, and while I'm sure some preacher through the years has said this I never picked it up.
Also, the animal choices that God made. It seemed he was choosing the pattern of which animal pleased him. They are the same ones I believe that He told Moses to use.
God makes a promise to Abram in xv.15 that he would live to a good old age. This is also something I had not seen. Not of HUGE importance just something that jumped out at me.
I find it very interesting to study this history of Israel. It always helps you down the road in your study. These are the basics that will aid in the study of the whole bible.
