Genesis 15:9-13
9So He said to him, “1Bring 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.” 10Then he 2brought all these to Him and 3cut them 4in two, and laid each half opposite the other; but he 5did not cut the birds. 11The birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12Now when the sun was going down, 6a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, 7terror and great darkness fell upon him. 13God said to Abram, “Know for certain that 8your 9descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, 10where 11they will be enslaved and oppressed 12four hundred years.
