15After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward. "H310H1697H1697H3068H1961H87H4236H559H3372H87H4043H3966H7235H7939 2But Abram said, "Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"H87H559H136H3069H5414H1980H6185H1121H4943H1004H1931H461H1834 3And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir."H87H559H5414H3808H2233H1121H1004H3423 4Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir."H1697H3068H559H3423H3318H4578H3423 5He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars—if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."H3318H2351H559H5027H8064H5608H3556H3201H5608H559H3541H2233 6Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.H539H3068H2803H6666 7He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it."H559H3068H3318H218H3778H5414H776H3423 8But Abram said, "Sovereign LORD, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?"H559H136H3069H4100H3045H3423 9So the LORD said to him, "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon."H559H3947H5697H8027H5795H8027H352H8027H8449H1469 10Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, however, he did not cut in half.H3947H1334H8432H5414H376H1335H7125H7453H6833H1334 11Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.H5861H3381H6297H87H5380 12As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him.H8121H935H8639H5307H87H367H1419H2825H5307 13Then the LORD said to him, "Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there.H559H87H3045H3045H2233H1616H776H5647H6031H702H3967H8141 14But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.H1471H5647H1777H310H3651H3318H1419H7399 15You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age.H935H1H7965H6912H2896H7872 16In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure."H7243H1755H2008H7725H5771H567H2008H8003 17When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.H8121H935H5939H6227H8574H784H3940H5674H996H1506 18On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—H1931H3117H3068H3772H1285H87H559H2233H5414H776H5104H4714H1419H5104H5104H6578 19the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,H7017H7074H6935 20Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,H2850H6522H7497 21Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."H567H3669H1622H2983
