12Now when the sunH8121 was goingH935 down, 1a deepH8639 sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and beholdH2009, 2terrorH367 and greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him. 13God saidH559 to AbramH87, “KnowH3045 for certainH3045 that 3your 4descendantsH2233 will be strangersH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirsH1992, 5where 6they will be enslavedH5647 and oppressedH6031 7fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141. 14But I will alsoH1571 judgeH1777 the nationH1471 whomH834 they will serveH5647, and afterwardH310H3651 they will comeH3318 out 8with 9manyH1419 possessionsH7399. 15As for you, 10you shall goH935 to your fathersH1 in peaceH7965; you will be buriedH6912 at a goodH2896 oldH7872 ageH7872. 16Then in 11the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they will returnH7725 hereH2008, for 12the iniquityH5771 of the AmoriteH567 is not yetH5704H2008 completeH8003.”
