Land, Wealth, and a great nation (i.e. many, many children.)
God told Abraham that in his words the world would be blessed. Abraham has a covenant relationship with God.
Answer:
There are two covenants which God made with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and Genesis ch.17).
1) In Genesis ch.15, the Covenant Between the Parts:
a) God informs Abraham of future events (the Egyptian exile)
b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendants
c) The covenant is finalized through a demonstration of God's presence (see Genesis 15:7-9 and 15:17).
2) In Genesis ch.17, the covenant of circumcision:
a) The promises of many descendants (17:2,3) and of inheriting the land of Canaan are repeated (17:8), but the main thing in this covenant is the promise that God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).
b) God promises that Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), whom they will name Isaac (17:19) and who will be the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham (17:21).
c) The covenant itself is manifested through circumcision, for Abraham and his descendants (17:10).

∙ 11y agoWell, God actually made several promises to Abraham, and the story is clicks away now. That he would never lack descendants is one, which in Bible speak is huge. It basically translates as "Yours is the branch that will attain" from the manuscripts.

The word is covenant.
The most important part of God's promise to Abraham was the verse "And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto you and to your seed after you" (Genesis 17:7).
It is called the "Covenant"-- the promise Abraham made with God, and God made with Abraham.
The symbol for God's covenant with Abraham is the "rainbow".
God promised to make Abraham into a great and blessed nation (Genesis ch.12). See also:Abraham's biographyThe covenant
He didn't - He spoke for God and to God, but not against Him. He believed in God and God counted it unto him for righteousness. The book of Genesis tells Abraham's story and the Book of Romans speaks lots of Abraham's faith in God's promise and covenant.
It is meant to say 'What did God promise to Abraham?' Genisis- 17:10 ' This is my covenant, which you shall keep between me and you and your seed after you; Every male among you shall be circumcised'
covenant means a promise with God
The covenant.There are three covenants. Two which God made with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and Genesis ch.17), and one with Abraham's Israelite descendants in the time of Moses after the Exodus.1) In Genesis ch.15, the Covenant Between the Parts:a) God informs Abraham of future events (the Egyptian exile)b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendantsc) The covenant is finalized through a demonstration of God's presence (see Genesis 15:7-9 and 15:17).2) In Genesis ch.17, the covenant of circumcision:a) The promises of many descendants (17:2,3) and of inheriting the land of Canaan are repeated (17:8), but the main thing in this covenant is the promise that God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).b) God promises that Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), whom they will name Isaac (17:19) and who will be the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham (17:21).c) The covenant itself is manifested through circumcision, for Abraham and his descendants (17:10).3) The covenant between God and the Israelite nation (see Exodus ch.19 and ch.24), was made in the time of Moses, with Moses serving as the messenger.This covenant is one of obedience, to listen to God's voice (Exodus 19:5), which will include the entire Torah (24:12). God, for His part, promised to treasure the Israelites (Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 26:16-19). The covenant was manifested through God's giving the Ten Commandments (Exodus ch.19-20), and was finalized (on our part) through the offerings described in Exodus ch.24.See also:What did God promise to the Israelites?What was the outward sign of the Israelite covenant?
The promise of many descendants (Genesis 17:2,3)The promise of inheriting the land of Canaan (17:8)God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), whom they will name Isaac (17:19) and who will be the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham (17:21)..
Abraham made a covenant with God; and God swore also to Isaac and Jacob that He would uphold the covenant of Abraham with them too. For Joseph, no such statement or covenant was made. The earlier covenant applied to Joseph and all of his brothers equally and was not reiterated until the time of Moses.See also the Related Links.Link: The covenantLink: Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
