Genesis 15:2 - Prayer Tents

15After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great."H310H1697H1697H3068H1961H87H4236H559H3372H87H4043H3966H7235H7939 2But Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"H87H559H136H3069H5414H1980H6185H1121H4943H1004H1931H461H1834 3And Abram said, "Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir."H87H559H5414H3808H2233H1121H1004H3423 4And behold, the word of the LORD came to him: "This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir."H1697H3068H559H3423H3318H4578H3423 5And he brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."H3318H2351H559H5027H8064H5608H3556H3201H5608H559H3541H2233 6And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.H539H3068H2803H6666 7And he said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess."H559H3068H3318H218H3778H5414H776H3423 8But he said, "O Lord GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?"H559H136H3069H4100H3045H3423 9He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."H559H3947H5697H8027H5795H8027H352H8027H8449H1469 10And he brought him all these, cut them in half, and laid each half over against the other. But he did not cut the birds in half.H3947H1334H8432H5414H376H1335H7125H7453H6833H1334 11And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.H5861H3381H6297H87H5380 12As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him.H8121H935H8639H5307H87H367H1419H2825H5307 13Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years.H559H87H3045H3045H2233H1616H776H5647H6031H702H3967H8141 14But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.H1471H5647H1777H310H3651H3318H1419H7399 15As for yourself, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.H935H1H7965H6912H2896H7872 16And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."H7243H1755H2008H7725H5771H567H2008H8003 17When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.H8121H935H5939H6227H8574H784H3940H5674H996H1506 18On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,H1931H3117H3068H3772H1285H87H559H2233H5414H776H5104H4714H1419H5104H5104H6578 19the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,H7017H7074H6935 20the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,H2850H6522H7497 21the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites."H567H3669H1622H2983
