Genesis 15

1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward. [c]
2 And Abram said, LORD God, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? [c]
3 And Abram said, Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, see, one born in my house is my heir. [c]
4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, This shall not be your heir; but he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be your heir. [c]
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if you be able to number them: and he said to him, So shall your seed be. [c]
6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. [c]
7 And he said to him, I am the LORD that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it. [c]
8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? [c]
9 And he said to 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. [c]
10 And he took to him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. [c]
11 And when the fowls came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. [c]
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram; and, see, an horror of great darkness fell on him. [c]
13 And he said to Abram, Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; [c]
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. [c]
15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age. [c]
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come here again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. [c]
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. [c]
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: [c]
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, [c]
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, [c]
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. [c]
