15After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great."H310H1697H1697H3068H1961H87H4236H559H3372H87H4043H3966H7235H7939 2And Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what wilt Thou give me, since I am childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"H87H559H136H3069H5414H1980H6185H1121H4943H1004H1931H461H1834 3And Abram said, "Since Thou hast given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir."H87H559H5414H3808H2233H1121H1004H3423 4Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who shall come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir."H1697H3068H559H3423H3318H4578H3423 5And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."H3318H2351H559H5027H8064H5608H3556H3201H5608H559H3541H2233 6Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.H539H3068H2803H6666 7And He said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it."H559H3068H3318H218H3778H5414H776H3423 8And he said, "O Lord GOD, how may I know that I shall possess it?"H559H136H3069H4100H3045H3423 9So He said to him, "Bring Me a three year old heifer, and a three year old female goat, and a three year old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon."H559H3947H5697H8027H5795H8027H352H8027H8449H1469 10Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, and laid each half opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds.H3947H1334H8432H5414H376H1335H7125H7453H6833H1334 11And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.H5861H3381H6297H87H5380 12Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror [and] great darkness fell upon him.H8121H935H8639H5307H87H367H1419H2825H5307 13And [God] said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years.H559H87H3045H3045H2233H1616H776H5647H6031H702H3967H8141 14"But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve; and afterward they will come out with many possessions.H1471H5647H1777H310H3651H3318H1419H7399 15"And as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.H935H1H7965H6912H2896H7872 16"Then in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete."H7243H1755H2008H7725H5771H567H2008H8003 17And it came about when the sun had set, that it was very dark, and behold, [there appeared] a smoking oven and a flaming torch which passed between these pieces.H8121H935H5939H6227H8574H784H3940H5674H996H1506 18On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates:H1931H3117H3068H3772H1285H87H559H2233H5414H776H5104H4714H1419H5104H5104H6578 19the Kenite and the Kenizzite and the KadmoniteH7017H7074H6935 20and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the RephaimH2850H6522H7497 21and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite.
