Genesis Chapter 13: God's Promises and Humanity's Response

In this podcast episode, we read Genesis chapter 13 from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.  We begin by identifying that a number of English translations use androcentric language in this passage.  They include the ESV, KJV and NASB.  We then focus on God's promise to give the land of Canaan to Abram and Sarai's descendants, the Israelites, "forever."  If God made such a promise to the children of Abram, why was Israel later expelled from the land God had given them, and sent into exile?  This passage sheds important light on issues related to God's promises and humanity's response.
