Genesis 15
- 1 After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.
- 2 And Abram said, What will you give me? for I have no child and this Eliezer of Damascus will have all my wealth after me.
- 3 And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.
- 4 Then said the Lord, This man will not get the heritage, but a son of your body will have your property after you.
- 5 And he took him out into the open air, and said to him, Let your eyes be lifted to heaven, and see if the stars may be numbered; even so will your seed be.
- 6 And he had faith in the Lord, and it was put to his account as righteousness.
- 7 And he said to him, I am the Lord, who took you from Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land for your heritage.
- 8 And he said, O Lord God, how may I be certain that it will be mine?
- 9 And he said, Take a young cow of three years old, and a she-goat of three years old, and a sheep of three years old, and a dove and a young pigeon.
- 10 All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.
- 11 And evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.
- 12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.
- 13 And he said to Abram, Truly, your seed will be living in a land which is not theirs, as servants to a people who will be cruel to them for four hundred years;
- 14 But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.
- 15 As for you, you will go to your fathers in peace; at the end of a long life you will be put in your last resting-place.
- 16 And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.
- 17 Then when the sun went down and it was dark, he saw a smoking fire and a flaming light which went between the parts of the bodies.
- 18 In that day the Lord made an agreement with Abram, and said, To your seed have I given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
- 19 The Kenite, the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
- 20 And the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
- 21 And the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
