# two parties

The parties could be two people, two groups of people, or a person and a group of people.

# in this case, God made a promise to Abram

The promise that God made to Abraham was without conditions. God would do what he promised. It did not depend on what Abram did.

# God said, “I will give you a son from your own body. I give the land of Canaan to your descendants.”

This is direct quotation. It can also be stated as an indirect quotation: “God said he would give Abram a son from his own body, and would give the land of Canaan to his descendants.” (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations]])

# from your own body

With his own body, Abram would cause his wife to become pregnant, so that, together, they would have their own, natural son. This was an amazing promise, since Abram and Sarai were very old.

# did not have a son

Abram still did not have any descendants who could possess the land.
