Genesis 15:9-18

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;
