Genesis 15:7-17

7And he saidH559 to him, I am the LORDH3068 that brought thee outH3318 of UrH218 of the ChaldeesH3778, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it. 8And he saidH559, LordH136 GODH3069, by whatH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall inherit itH3423? 9And he saidH559 to him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of three years oldH8027, and a female goatH5795 of three years oldH8027, and a ramH352 of three years oldH8027, and a turtledoveH8449, and a young pigeonH1469. 10And he tookH3947 to him all these, and dividedH1334 them in the midstH8432, and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 anotherH7453: but the birdsH6833 he did not divideH1334. 11And when the fowlsH5861 came downH3381 upon the carcasesH6297, AbramH87 drove them awayH5380.

12And when the sunH8121 was going downH935, a deep sleepH8639 fellH5307 upon AbramH87; and, lo, an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 upon him. 13And he saidH559 to AbramH87, KnowH3045 certainlyH3045 that thy seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not theirs, and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 yearsH8141; 14And also that nationH1471, which they shall serveH5647, will I judgeH1777: and afterwardH310H3651 shall they come outH3318 with greatH1419 substanceH7399. 15And thou shalt goH935 to thy fathersH1 in peaceH7965; thou shalt be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872. 16But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall come hereH2008 againH7725: for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH2008 fullH8003.

17And it came to pass, that, when the sunH8121 had gone downH935, and it was darkH5939, behold a smokingH6227 furnaceH8574, and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 those piecesH1506.1
