After{H310} these things{H1697} the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came{H1961}{(H8804)} unto Abram{H87} in a vision{H4236}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Fear{H3372}{(H8799)} not, Abram{H87}: I am thy shield{H4043}, and thy exceeding{H3966} great{H7235}{(H8687)} reward{H7939}.

And Abram{H87} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}, what wilt thou give{H5414}{(H8799)} me, seeing I go{H1980}{(H8802)} childless{H6185}, and the steward{H1121}{H4943} of my house{H1004} is this{H1931} Eliezer{H461} of Damascus{H1834}?

And Abram{H87} said{H559}{(H8799)}, Behold, to me thou hast given{H5414}{(H8804)} no{H3808} seed{H2233}: and, lo, one born{H1121} in my house{H1004} is mine heir{H3423}{(H8802)}.

And, behold, the word{H1697} of the LORD{H3068} came unto him, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, This shall not be thine heir{H3423}{(H8799)}; but he that shall come forth{H3318}{(H8799)} out of thine own bowels{H4578} shall be thine heir{H3423}{(H8799)}.

And he brought him forth{H3318}{(H8686)} abroad{H2351}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, Look{H5027}{(H8685)} now toward heaven{H8064}, and tell{H5608}{(H8798)} the stars{H3556}, if thou be able{H3201}{(H8799)} to number{H5608}{(H8800)} them: and he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, So{H3541} shall thy seed{H2233} be.

And he believed{H539}{(H8689)} in the LORD{H3068}; and he counted{H2803}{(H8799)} it to him for righteousness{H6666}.

And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, I am the LORD{H3068} that brought thee out{H3318}{(H8689)} of Ur{H218} of the Chaldees{H3778}, to give{H5414}{(H8800)} thee this land{H776} to inherit{H3423}{(H8800)} it.

And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Lord{H136} GOD{H3069}, whereby{H4100} shall I know{H3045}{(H8799)} that I shall inherit it{H3423}{(H8799)}?

And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Take{H3947}{(H8798)} me an heifer{H5697} of three years old{H8027}{(H8794)}, and a she goat{H5795} of three years old{H8027}{(H8794)}, and a ram{H352} of three years old{H8027}{(H8794)}, and a turtledove{H8449}, and a young pigeon{H1469}.

And he took{H3947}{(H8799)} unto him all these, and divided{H1334}{(H8762)} them in the midst{H8432}, and laid{H5414}{(H8799)} each{H376} piece{H1335} one against{H7125}{(H8800)} another{H7453}: but the birds{H6833} divided{H1334}{(H8804)} he not.

And when the fowls{H5861} came down{H3381}{(H8799)} upon the carcases{H6297}, Abram{H87} drove them away{H5380}{(H8686)}.

And when the sun{H8121} was going down{H935}{(H8800)}, a deep sleep{H8639} fell{H5307}{(H8804)} upon Abram{H87}; and, lo, an horror{H367} of great{H1419} darkness{H2825} fell{H5307}{(H8802)} upon him.

And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Abram{H87}, Know{H3045}{(H8799)} of a surety{H3045}{(H8800)} that thy seed{H2233} shall be a stranger{H1616} in a land{H776} that is not theirs, and shall serve{H5647}{(H8804)} them; and they shall afflict{H6031}{(H8765)} them four{H702} hundred{H3967} years{H8141};

And also that nation{H1471}, whom they shall serve{H5647}{(H8799)}, will I judge{H1777}{(H8802)}: and afterward{H310}{H3651} shall they come out{H3318}{(H8799)} with great{H1419} substance{H7399}.

And thou shalt go{H935}{(H8799)} to thy fathers{H1} in peace{H7965}; thou shalt be buried{H6912}{(H8735)} in a good{H2896} old age{H7872}.

But in the fourth{H7243} generation{H1755} they shall come hither{H2008} again{H7725}{(H8799)}: for the iniquity{H5771} of the Amorites{H567} is not yet{H2008} full{H8003}.

And it came to pass, that, when the sun{H8121} went down{H935}{(H8804)}, and it was dark{H5939}, behold a smoking{H6227} furnace{H8574}, and a burning{H784} lamp{H3940} that passed{H5674}{(H8804)} between{H996} those pieces{H1506}.

In the same{H1931} day{H3117} the LORD{H3068} made{H3772}{(H8804)} a covenant{H1285} with Abram{H87}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Unto thy seed{H2233} have I given{H5414}{(H8804)} this land{H776}, from the river{H5104} of Egypt{H4714} unto the great{H1419} river{H5104}, the river{H5104} Euphrates{H6578}:

The Kenites{H7017}, and the Kenizzites{H7074}, and the Kadmonites{H6935},

And the Hittites{H2850}, and the Perizzites{H6522}, and the Rephaims{H7497},

And the Amorites{H567}, and the Canaanites{H3669}, and the Girgashites{H1622}, and the Jebusites{H2983}.
