What a fine way of stating that the established course, that God has without exception followed in the treatment of Abraham, was always marked by divine "kindness" (chesedh) and divine "truth" or dependability ( 'emeth)!

Exposition of Genesis: Volume 1 1892-1972 1942
The first tokens of such divine presence were that Yahweh "made him the object of goodwill," So the Hebrew phrase is meant: "he turned to him goodwill" (chesedh), of course, the goodwill of others.

Exposition of Genesis: Volume 1 1892-1972 1942
"kindness" (chesedh) which Abraham will appreciate, and from another point of view "truth" ( 'emeth) or "faithfulness," for where the hand of the Lord is displayed by such clear tokens of divine providence, man is true neither to God nor to himself if he does not accept such guidance.
