And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Al ponerse el sol, Abram cayó en un sueño profundo, y de repente una oscuridad aterradora lo cubrió.
Dios hizo que Abram entrara en un sueño profundo acompañado de una oscuridad aterradora al atardecer.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse occurs during God's covenant ceremony with Abram, where God was about to make promises about Abram's descendants and the land they would inherit. In ancient Near Eastern culture, covenant-making often involved elaborate rituals with sacrificed animals. The 'horror of great darkness' likely represents the weight and solemnity of what God was about to reveal about his people's future, including their coming enslavement in Egypt.
