Genesis 15

1After these thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 not, AbramH87; I am thy shieldH4043, thy exceeding great rewardH7939. 2And AbramH87 saidH559, LordH136 Jehovah, what wilt thou giveH5414 me? seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and the steward of my houseH1004 is this EliezerH461 of DamascusH1834. 3And AbramH87 saidH559, Lo, to me thou hast givenH5414 no seedH2233, and behold, a sonH1121 of my houseH1004 will be mine heir. 4And behold, the wordH1697 of Jehovah [cameH3318] to him, sayingH559, This shall not be thine heir, but he that will comeH3318 forthH3318 out of thy body shall be thine heir. 5And he led him out, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward the heavensH8064, and number the starsH3556, if thou beH1961 ableH3201 to number them. And he saidH559 to him, So shall thy seedH2233 beH1961! 6And he believedH539 Jehovah; and he reckonedH2803 it to him [as] righteousnessH6666. 7And he saidH559 to him, I am Jehovah who broughtH3318 thee out of Ur of the ChaldeansH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to possessH3423 it. 8And he saidH559, LordH136 Jehovah, howH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall possessH3423 it? 9And he saidH559 to him, TakeH3947 me a heiferH5697 of threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a she-goat of threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a turtle-dove, and a youngH1469 pigeon. 10And he tookH3947 all these, and divided them in the midstH8432, and laid the half of each opposite its fellow; but the birdsH6833 he did not divide. 11And the birdsH5861 of preyH5861 cameH3381 downH3381 on the carcases; and AbramH87 scared them away. 12And as the sunH8121 wasH1961 just goingH935 downH5307, a deepH8639 sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and behold, a horror, a greatH1419 darknessH2825, fellH5307 upon him. 13And he saidH559 to AbramH87, KnowH3045 assuredly that thy seedH2233 will beH1961 a sojournerH1616 in a landH776 [that is] not theirs, and they shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141. 14But alsoH1571 that nationH1471 which they shall serveH5647 I will judgeH1777; and afterwards they shall comeH3318 out with greatH1419 propertyH7399. 15And 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 AmoritesH567 is not yet fullH8003. 17And it cameH935 to passH5674 when the sunH8121 had goneH935 down, and it wasH1961 dark, that behold, there wasH1961 a smoking furnaceH8574, and a flame of fireH784 which passedH5674 between those pieces. 18On the same dayH3117 Jehovah madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 I giveH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 to the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578; 19the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 20and the HittitesH2850, and the Perizzites, and the RephaimH7497, 21and the AmoritesH567, and the CanaanitesH3669, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
