Exegesis

Abram’s complaint is framed by two attention markers, hen {הֵן | hēn} ‘look’ and vehineh {וְהִנֵּה | wəhinneh} ‘and look’, creating a two-step focus on divine provision and its absence.

In context — Genesis 15:3

And Abram said, “Look, to me You have not given offspring , and look, a son of my household will inherit me.”
