Genesis  


15 : 1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great."
15 : 2 Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what will You give me, since I am childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"
15 : 3 And Abram said, "Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir."
15 : 4 Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir."
15 : 5 And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them " And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."
15 : 6 Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.
15 : 7 And He said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it."
15 : 8 He said, "O Lord GOD, how may I know that I will possess it?"
15 : 9 So He said to him, "Bring Me a three year old heifer, and a three year old female goat, and a three year old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
15 : 10 Then he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, and laid each half opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds.
15 : 11 The birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
15 : 12 Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.
15 : 13 God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years.
15 : 14 But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with many possessions.
15 : 15 As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good old age.
15 : 16 Then in the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.
15 : 17 It came about when the sun had set, that it was very dark, and behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a flaming torch which passed between these pieces.
15 : 18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates:
15 : 19 the Kenite and the Kenizzite and the Kadmonite
15 : 20 and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Rephaim
15 : 21 and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite."
