Genesis 15:5-21

5And He tookH3318 him outsideH2351 and saidH559, “NowH4994 lookH5027 toward the heavensH8064 and 1countH5608 the starsH3556, ifH518 you areH3201 ableH3201 to countH5608 them.” And He saidH559 to him, “2SoH3541 shall your 3descendantsH2233 be.” 64Then he believedH539 in the LordH3068; and He 5creditedH2803 it to him as righteousnessH6666. 7And He saidH559 to him, “I am the LordH3068 whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of 6UrH218 of the ChaldeansH3778, to 7giveH5414 you thisH2088 landH776 to 8possessH3423 it.” 8But he saidH559, “LordH136 9GodH3068, 10howH4100 may I knowH3045 that I will 11possessH3423 it?” 9So He saidH559 to him, “12BringH3947 Me a three-year-oldH8027 heiferH5697, a three-year-oldH8027 femaleH5795 goatH5795, a three-year-oldH8027 ramH352, a turtledoveH8449, and a youngH1469 pigeonH1469.” 10Then he 13broughtH3947 allH3605 theseH428 to Him and 14cutH1334 them 15in twoH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 halfH1335 oppositeH7122 the otherH7453; but he 16did not cutH1334 the birdsH6833. 11And birdsH5861 ofH5861 preyH5861 cameH3381 downH3381 upon the carcassesH6297, and AbramH87 droveH5380 them awayH5380.

12Now when the sunH8121 was goingH935 down, 17a deepH8639 sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and beholdH2009, 18terrorH367 and greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him. 13Then God saidH559 to AbramH87, “KnowH3045 forH3045 certainH3045 that 19your 20descendantsH2233 will be strangersH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirsH1992, 21where 22they will be enslavedH5647 and oppressedH6031 for 23fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141. 14But I will alsoH1571 judgeH1777 the nationH1471 whomH834 they will serveH5647, and afterwardH310H3651 they will comeH3318 outH3318 24with 25manyH1419 possessionsH7399. 15As for you, 26you shall goH935 to your fathersH1 in peaceH7965; you will be buriedH6912 at a goodH2896 oldH7872 ageH7872. 16Then in 27the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they will returnH7725 hereH2008, for 28the wrongdoingH5771 of the AmoriteH567 is not yetH5704H2008 completeH8003.”

17Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961, when the sunH8121 had setH935, that it was veryH5939 darkH5939, and beholdH2009, a smokingH6227 ovenH8574 and a flamingH784 torchH3940 appeared whichH834 29passedH5674 betweenH996 theseH428 piecesH1506. 18On that dayH3117 the LordH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, “30To your 31descendantsH2233 I have givenH5414 thisH2088 landH776, From 32the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 as farH5704 as the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578: 1933the land of the KeniteH7017, the KenizziteH7074, the KadmoniteH6935, 20the HittiteH2850, the PerizziteH6522, the RephaimH7497, 21the AmoriteH567, the CanaaniteH3669, the GirgashiteH1622, and the JebusiteH2983.”
