Genesis 15

1AfterH310 theseH428 things the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 unto AbramH87 in a visionH4236, sayingH559, FearH3372 notH408, AbramH87: I am thy shieldH4043, and thy exceedingH3966 greatH3966 rewardH7939. 2And AbramH87 saidH559, O LordH136 GODH136, whatH4100 wilt thou giveH5414 meH5414, seeing I goH1980 childlessH6185, and he that shall be possessor of my houseH1004 is Dammesek EliezerH461? 3And AbramH87 saidH559, BeholdH2009, to meH5414 thou hast givenH5414 noH3808 seedH2233: and, loH2009, one bornH3808 in my houseH1004 is mine heirH3423. 4And, beholdH2009, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH3318 unto him, sayingH559, This man shall notH3808 be thine heirH3423; but he that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of thine ownH4578 bowelsH4578 shall be thine heirH3423. 5And he broughtH3318 him forthH3318 abroadH2351, and saidH559, LookH5027 nowH4994 toward heavenH8064, and tellH559 the starsH3556, ifH518 thou be ableH3201 to tellH559 them: and he saidH559 unto him, SoH3541 shall thy seedH2233 be. 6And he believedH539 in the LORDH3068; and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666. 7And he saidH559 unto him, I am the LORDH3068 that broughtH3318 thee outH3318 of Ur of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it. 8And he saidH559, O LordH136 GODH136, whereby shall I knowH3045 that I shall inheritH3423 it? 9And he saidH559 unto him, TakeH3947 meH413 an heiferH5697 of threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a she-goat of threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of threeH8027 years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a youngH1469 pigeonH1469. 10And he tookH3947 him allH3605 theseH428, and divided them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 halfH1335 over againstH7125 the otherH7453: but the birdsH6833 divided he notH3808. 11And the birdsH5861 of preyH5861 cameH3381 downH3381 uponH5921 the carcases, and AbramH87 droveH5380 them awayH5380. 12And when the sunH8121 was goingH935 downH5307, a deepH8639 sleepH8639 fellH5307 uponH5921 AbramH87; and, loH2009, an horror of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 uponH5921 him. 13And he saidH559 unto AbramH87, KnowH3045 of a surety that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is notH3808 theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141; 14and also that nationH1471, whomH834 they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310 shall they comeH3318 outH3318 with greatH1419 substance. 15But thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 oldH7872 ageH7872. 16And in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall comeH7725 hither againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoriteH567 is notH3808 yet fullH8003. 17And it cameH935 to passH5674, that, when the sunH8121 wentH935 downH428, and it was darkH5939, beholdH2009 a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a flamingH784 torchH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 theseH428 piecesH1506. 18In that dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with AbramH87, sayingH559, Unto thy seedH2233 have I givenH5414 this landH776, from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 unto the greatH1419 riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578: 19the KeniteH7017, and the KenizziteH7074, and the KadmoniteH6935, 20and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, and the RephaimH7497, 21and the AmoriteH567, and the CanaaniteH3669, and the GirgashiteH1622, and the JebusiteH2983.
