Abraham was not to expect to receive the promise in this life - he was to be a "stranger" in the land, although he would later live there for ever. The implication of this is that he would die and then later be resurrected to enable him to receive this promise.
Abrahamu hakutarajia kupata ahadi katika maisha haya - alikuwa awe ni "mgeni" katika nchi, ingawa baadae ataishi milele humo. kidokezo cha hii ni kuwa atakufa na kisha baadae kufufuliwa na kumwezesha kupata ahadi hii.
