A Century of Patience
Multiple commentators highlight that of Abraham's 175 years, exactly 100 were spent as a sojourner in Canaan. His life is presented as a model of incredible patience, as he wandered for a century, content with God's promise alone. This serves as an encouragement for believers to endure their own trials, trusting that God will fulfill His promises.
