Exegesis
The relative clause introduced by asher {אֲשֶׁר | ʾă-šer} specifies the true heir as the one who yetse {יֵצֵא | yē-ṣēʾ} ‘will come forth’ from Abram’s own body, expressed by the idiom mimeekha {מִמֵּעֶיךָ | mim-mē-ʿe-kā} ‘from your inward parts’, emphasizing physical, biological descent.
In context — Genesis 15:4
And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but rather the one who shall come forth from your own inner being —he shall be your heir.”
