AfterH310 theseH428 thingsH1697 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to AbramH87 in a vision,H4236 saying,H559 FearH3372 not, Abram:H87 I am your shield,H4043 and your exceedingH3966 greatH7235 reward.H7939
2
And AbramH87 said,H559 LORDH136 God,H3069 whatH4100 will you giveH5414 me, seeing I goH1980 childless,H6185 and the stewardH1121 H4943 of my houseH1004 is thisH1931 EliezerH461 of Damascus?H1834
3
And AbramH87 said,H559 Behold,H2005 to me you have givenH5414 noH3808 seed:H2233 and, see,H2009 one bornH1121 in my houseH1004 is my heir.H3423
4
And, behold,H2009 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to him, saying,H559 ThisH2088 shall not be your heir;H3423 but he that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 out of your own bowelsH4578 shall be your heir.H3423
5
And he broughtH3318 him forthH3318 abroad,H2351 and said,H559 LookH5027 nowH4994 toward heaven,H8064 and tellH5608 the stars,H3556 ifH518 you be ableH3201 to numberH5608 them: and he saidH559 to him, SoH3541 shall your seedH2233 be.
6
And he believedH539 in the LORD;H3068 and he countedH2803 it to him for righteousness.H6666
7
And he saidH559 to him, I am the LORDH3068 that broughtH3318 you out of UrH218 of the Chaldees,H3778 to giveH5414 you thisH2063 landH776 to inheritH3423 it.
8
And he said,H559 LORDH136 God,H3069 wherebyH4100 shall I knowH3045 that I shall inheritH3423 it?
9
And he saidH559 to him, TakeH3947 me an heiferH5697 of threeH8027 yearsH8027 old,H8027 and a she goatH5795 of threeH8027 yearsH8027 old,H8027 and a ramH352 of threeH8027 yearsH8027 old,H8027 and a turtledove,H8449 and a youngH1469 pigeon.H1469
10
And he tookH3947 to him allH3605 these,H428 and dividedH1334 them in the middle,H8432 and laidH5414 eachH376 pieceH1335 one againstH7125 another:H7453 but the birdsH6833 dividedH1334 he not.
11
And when the fowlsH5861 cameH3381 downH3381 on the carcasses,H6297 AbramH87 droveH5380 them away.
12
And whenH1961 the sunH8121 was goingH935 down,H935 a deepH8639 sleepH8639 fellH5307 on Abram;H87 and, see,H2009 an horrorH367 of greatH1419 darknessH2825 fellH5307 on him.
13
And he saidH559 to Abram,H87 KnowH3045 of a suretyH3045 that your seedH2233 shall be a strangerH1616 in a landH776 that is not their's,H1992 and shall serveH5647 them; and they shall afflictH6031 them fourH702 hundredH3967 years;H8141
14
And alsoH1571 that nation,H1471 whomH834 they shall serve,H5647 will I judge:H1777 and afterwardH310 H3651 shall they comeH3318 out with greatH1419 substance.H7399
15
And you shall goH935 to your fathersH1 in peace;H7965 you shall be buriedH6912 in a goodH2896 oldH7872 age.H7872
16
But in the fourthH7243 generationH1755 they shall comeH7725 hereH2008 again:H7725 for the iniquityH5771 of the AmoritesH567 is not yetH5704 H2008 full.H8003
17
And it cameH1961 to pass, that, whenH1961 the sunH8121 wentH935 down,H935 and it was dark,H5939 beholdH2009 a smokingH6227 furnace,H8574 and a burningH784 lampH3940 that passedH5674 betweenH996 thoseH428 pieces.H1506
18
In the sameH1931 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with Abram,H87 saying,H559 To your seedH2233 have I givenH5414 thisH2063 land,H776 from the riverH5104 of EgyptH4714 to the greatH1419 river,H5104 the riverH5104 Euphrates:H6578
19
The Kenites,H7017 and the Kenizzites,H7074 and the Kadmonites,H6935
20
And the Hittites,H2850 and the Perizzites,H6522 and the Rephaims,H7497
21
And the Amorites,H567 and the Canaanites,H3669 and the Girgashites,H1622 and the Jebusites.H2983
