Acts 7:4,5

Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans Strange as the command which was given him might seem, he, with all submission, readily obeyed it; and dwelt in Charran Namely, for several years, having been led thither by the divine conduct, and not immediately receiving a signal to proceed any further. And from thence After his father died, by another call; he (God) removed him into this land The land of Canaan. And yet, upon his coming into it, he gave him none inheritance But he was a stranger and sojourner in it; no, not so much as to set his foot on Or a piece of land which he might cover with the sole of his foot: for the field mentioned, Acts 7:16, he did not receive by a divine donation, but bought it; yet he promised At sundry times; that he would give it to him for a possession Which promise Abraham firmly believed that God would fulfil; and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child And, humanly speaking, it was not likely he ever should have one: but his faith triumphed over all these seeming difficulties, and he confidently trusted in the power, and love, and faithfulness of God to make his word good.
