Genesis 15:6-15

1. 6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

2. 7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

3. 8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?

4. 9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

5. 10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

6. 11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

7. 12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

8. 13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

9. 14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

10. 15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
