“Remember, this is a Covenant making society. When people heard this for the first time they would understand exactly what was going on. They understood that there were two leaders—a greater leader, and a lesser leader—and that both represented the identities of those whom they represented.

“So the Covenant has always been crafted in grace. And God, the Great one, confers grace upon Abram, the weak one, the right to relationship. It’s the relationship of oneness. God confers upon Abram this astonishing gift, that he is now one with God and can meet Him eye to eye. Therefore, though God remains the greater and the stronger, you and I can speak to Him as if we are one.”
