Genesis 15

1After these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of Jehovah came unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceeding great rewardH7939. 2And AbramH87 saidH559, O LordH136 Jehovah, what wilt thou giveH5414 me, seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and he that shall be possessor of my houseH1004 is EliezerH461 of DamascusH1834? 3And AbramH87 saidH559, Behold, to me thou hast givenH5414 no seedH2233: and, lo, one born in my houseH1004 is mine heir. 4And, behold, the wordH1697 of Jehovah cameH3318 unto him, sayingH559, This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 out of thine own bowelsH4578 shall be thine heir. 5And he broughtH3318 him forthH3318 abroad, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and number the starsH3556, if thou beH1961 ableH3201 to number them: and he saidH559 unto him, So shall thy seedH2233 beH1961. 6And he believedH539 in Jehovah; and he reckonedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666. 7And he saidH559 unto him, I am Jehovah that broughtH3318 thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it. 8And he saidH559, O LordH136 Jehovah, whereby shall I knowH3045 that I shall inheritH3423 it? 9And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 me a heiferH5697 threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a she-goat threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a ramH352 threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a turtle-dove, and a youngH1469 pigeon. 10And he tookH3947 him all these, and divided them in the midstH8432, and laid each half over against the other: but the birdsH6833 divided he not. 11And the birdsH5861 of preyH5861 cameH3381 downH3381 upon the carcasses, and AbramH87 drove them away.

12And when the sunH8121 wasH1961 goingH935 downH5307, a deepH8639 sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, a horror of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him. 13And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a surety that thy seedH2233 shall beH1961 sojournersH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141; 14and alsoH1571 that nationH1471, whom they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterward shall they comeH3318 out with greatH1419 substance. 15But thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 oldH7872 ageH7872. 16And in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hither again: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoriteH567 is not yet fullH8003. 17And it cameH935 to passH5674, that, when the sunH8121 wentH935 down, and it wasH1961 dark, behold, a smoking furnaceH8574, and a flaming torchH3940 that passedH5674 between these pieces. 18In that dayH3117 Jehovah madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578: 19the KeniteH7017, and the KenizziteH7074, and the Kadmonite, 20and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, and the RephaimH7497, 21and the AmoriteH567, and the CanaaniteH3669, and the GirgashiteH1622, and the JebusiteH2983.
