Genesis 15:7-21
-
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.
-
8 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
-
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.
-
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.
-
11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
-
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
-
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;
-
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
-
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
-
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
-
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
-
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
-
19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
-
20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
-
21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
