Study Note

Abram's trust in God's promise of innumerable descendants is credited to him as righteousness (tsedaqah), a foundational statement about faith and right standing before God. The verb 'he believed' (he'emin) carries connotations of firmness and reliability — Abram treated the divine promise as something solid enough to lean on. The verse is quoted by Paul in Romans 4 and Galatians 3, and by James in James 2, making it a locus classicus for debates about faith, works, and justification in early Christianity. It establishes that covenant relationship with God is grounded in trust rather than prior achievement.
