God’s Covenant with Abram

15After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."H310H1697H1697H3068H1961H87H4236H559H3372H87H4043H3966H7235H7939 2But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"H87H559H136H3069H5414H1980H6185H1121H4943H1004H1931H461H1834 3Then Abram said, "Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!"H87H559H5414H3808H2233H1121H1004H3423 4And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir."H1697H3068H559H3423H3318H4578H3423 5Then He brought him outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."H3318H2351H559H5027H8064H5608H3556H3201H5608H559H3541H2233 6And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.H539H3068H2803H6666 7Then He said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it."H559H3068H3318H218H3778H5414H776H3423 8And he said, "Lord GOD, how shall I know that I will inherit it?"H559H136H3069H4100H3045H3423 9So He said to him, "Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."H559H3947H5697H8027H5795H8027H352H8027H8449H1469 10Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds in two.H3947H1334H8432H5414H376H1335H7125H7453H6833H1334 11And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.H5861H3381H6297H87H5380 12Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him.H8121H935H8639H5307H87H367H1419H2825H5307 13Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.H559H87H3045H3045H2233H1616H776H5647H6031H702H3967H8141 14"And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions.H1471H5647H1777H310H3651H3318H1419H7399 15"Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.H935H1H7965H6912H2896H7872 16"But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."H7243H1755H2008H7725H5771H567H2008H8003 17And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.H8121H935H5939H6227H8574H784H3940H5674H996H1506 18On the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying: "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates—H1931H3117H3068H3772H1285H87H559H2233H5414H776H5104H4714H1419H5104H5104H6578 19"the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites,H7017H7074H6935 20"the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,H2850H6522H7497 21"the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."H567H3669H1622H2983
