Genesis 15
15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram
in a vision, saying,
Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
15:2 And Abram said,
LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless,
and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
15:3 And Abram said,
Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said,
Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them:
and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
15:7 And he said unto him,
I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
15:8 And he said,
LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
15:9 And he said unto him,
Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old,
and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
15:10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst,
and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram;
and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
15:13 And he said unto Abram,
Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve them;
and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
15:14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge:
and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again:
for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
15:17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark,
behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying,
Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
15:19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
15:20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
15:21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
