| After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying: 'Fear not, Abram, I am thy shield, thy reward shall be exceeding great.'
|
| ONK
| 15:1
| After these things the word (pithgama) of the
Lord came to Abram in prophecy,(70) 70. The Samaritan has also benabia, "in prophecy."
saying, Fear not,
Abram: My Word (Memra) shall be thy strength, and thy
exceeding great reward.
|
| PAL
| 15:1
| After these words, when the kings had gathered
together, and had fallen before Abram; and four kings
had been slain, and nine hosts brought back, Abram
reasoned in his heart, and said, Woe to me, because I
have received the reward of my appointments in this
world, and have no portion in the world to come. Or
peradventnre the brethren and friends of those who
have been slain will combine in legions and come
against me; or that at that time there was found with
me the reward of a little righteousness, so that they fell
before me; but the second time reward may not be
found with me, and by me the name of the Heavens
may be profaned. Thereupon was the word (pithgama)
of the Lord with Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not;
for if these men should gather together in legions and
come against thee, My Word (Memra) will be thy shield:
and also if these fall before thee in this world, the
reward of thy good works shall be kept, and be prepared
before Me in the world to come, great exceedingly.
|
| JER
| 15:1
| After these words, when all the
kings of the lands, and the sultans of the provinces,
had gathered together, and had made war against
Abram the Just, and had fallen before him, and he had
slain of them four kings, and had brought back nine
hosts, did Abram the Just reason in his heart, and say,
Woe, now, to me, because I have received the reward
ordained in the present world, and have no portion in
the world to come. Or peradventure the brethren and
kindred of the slain who have fallen before me, who are
in their cities and provinces, will combine in great
legions, and come against me; or peradventure there
were in my hand a few commandments in the former
times, so that they fell before me when they had risen
up against me; or it may be that righteousness was
found in me at the former times, that they fell before
me, but at the second time it may not be found, and
the Heavenly Name will be profaned in me. Then was
the word of prophecy from the Lord unto Abram the
Righteous, saying, Fear not, Abram, though they should
gather together and come against thee with many
legions, My Word shall be thy reward and thy shield
in this world, and a protector over thee all the days of
the world to come. And though I deliver up thy
adversaries before thee in this world, the reward of thy
good works is prepared for thee also before Me in the
world to come.

what wilt Thou give me, and I go without a child: and
this son of business (bar phargama) who is in My house

| And Abram said, Lord God, great blessings hast
Thou given me, and great (are they which it is) before
Thee to give me: nevertheless, what profit is to me, when
I pass from the world without children, and Eliezer the
manager (bar pharnasath, the son of sustenance) of my
house, by whose hands signs were wrought for (or to)
me in Darmasek, expects to be my heir?
|
| JER

| And Abram said, Before Thee I supplicate
mercy, O Lord God. Manifold blessings Thou hast
given me, and many hast Thou before Thee still to give:

childless, and Eliezer, the son of my house, by whose
hands signs were wrought for me in Damasek, expecteth
in himself to be my heir?
