The Interaction Between Abram and God

The narrative highlights the direct and personal interaction between God and Abram, where God assures Abram not to be afraid, declaring Himself as Abram's shield and reward. This emphasizes a unique aspect of Abram's relationship with God, as Abram visualizes God in a way that contradicts common portrayals in modern depictions, where communication is often auditory. Instead, Abram entertains a tangible presence of God that he sees and interacts with, establishing a deeper theological understanding of God's nature. This assurance serves to address Abram's previous fears, particularly stemming from his experiences in Egypt.
