Genesis 15

1After^H310 these things^H1697 the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 came^H1961 unto Abram^H87 in a vision^H4236, saying^H559, Fear^H3372 not, Abram^H87: I am thy shield^H4043, and thy exceeding^H3966 great^H7235 reward^H7939. 2And Abram^H87 said^H559, O Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069, what wilt thou give^H5414 me, seeing I go^H1980 childless^H6185, and he^H1931 that shall be possessor^H1121 of my house^H1004 is Eliezer^H461 of Damascus^H1834? 3And Abram^H87 said^H559, Behold, to me thou hast given^H5414 no^H3808 seed^H2233: and, lo, one born^H1121 in my house^H1004 is mine heir^H3423. 4And, behold, the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 came unto him, saying^H559, This man shall not be thine heir^H3423; but he that shall come forth^H3318 out of thine own bowels^H4578 shall be thine heir^H3423. 5And he brought him forth^H3318 abroad^H2351, and said^H559, Look^H5027 now toward heaven^H8064, and number^H5608 the stars^H3556, if thou be able^H3201 to number^H5608 them: and he said^H559 unto him, So^H3541 shall thy seed^H2233 be. 6And he believed^H539 in Jehovah^H3068; and he reckoned^H2803 it to him for righteousness^H6666. 7And he said^H559 unto him, I am Jehovah^H3068 that brought thee out^H3318 of Ur^H218 of the Chaldees^H3778, to give^H5414 thee this land^H776 to inherit^H3423 it. 8And he said^H559, O Lord^H136 Jehovah^H136, whereby^H4100 shall I know^H3045 that I shall inherit it^H3423? 9And he said^H559 unto him, Take^H3947 me a heifer^H5697 three years old^H8027, and a she-goat^H5795 three years old^H8027, and a ram^H352 three years old^H8027, and a turtle-dove^H8449, and a young pigeon^H1469. 10And he took^H3947 him all these, and divided^H1334 them in the midst^H8432, and laid^H5414 each^H376 half^H1335 over against^H7125 the other^H7453: but the birds^H6833 divided^H1334 he not. 11And the birds^H5861 of prey came down^H3381 upon the carcasses^H6297, and Abram^H87 drove them away^H5380. 12And when the sun^H8121 was going down^H935, a deep sleep^H8639 fell^H5307 upon Abram^H87; and, lo, a horror^H367 of great^H1419 darkness^H2825 fell^H5307 upon him. 13And he said^H559 unto Abram^H87, Know^H3045 of a surety^H3045 that thy seed^H2233 shall be sojourners^H1616 in a land^H776 that is not theirs, and shall serve^H5647 them; and they shall afflict^H6031 them four^H702 hundred^H3967 years^H8141; 14and also that nation^H1471, whom they shall serve^H5647, will I judge^H1777: and afterward^H310 shall they come out^H3318 with great^H1419 substance^H7399. 15But thou shalt go^H935 to thy fathers^H1 in peace^H7965; thou shalt be buried^H6912 in a good^H2896 old age^H7872. 16And in the fourth^H7243 generation^H1755 they shall come hither^H2008 again^H7725: for the iniquity^H5771 of the Amorite^H567 is not yet^H2008 full^H8003. 17And it came to pass, that, when the sun^H8121 went down^H935, and it was dark^H5939, behold, a smoking^H6227 furnace^H8574, and a flaming^H784 torch^H3940 that passed^H5674 between^H996 these pieces^H1506. 18In that^H1931 day^H3117 Jehovah^H3068 made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with Abram^H87, saying^H559, Unto thy seed^H2233 have I given^H5414 this land^H776, from the river^H5104 of Egypt^H4714 unto the great^H1419 river^H5104, the river^H5104 Euphrates^H6578: 19the Kenite^H7017, and the Kenizzite^H7074, and the Kadmonite^H6935, 20and the Hittite^H2850, and the Perizzite^H6522, and the Rephaim^H7497, 21and the Amorite^H567, and the Canaanite^H3669, and the Girgashite^H1622, and the Jebusite^H2983.
