GEN 15:1 Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great.
GEN 15:2 And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.
GEN 15:3 And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant, born in my house, shall be my heir.
GEN 15:4 And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir.
GEN 15:5 And he thought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars, if thou canst. And he said to him: So shall thy seed be.
GEN 15:6 Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.
GEN 15:7 And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to gibe thee this land, and that thou mightest possess it.
GEN 15:8 But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it?
GEN 15:9 And the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon.
GEN 15:10 And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other; but the birds he divided not.
GEN 15:11 And the fowls came down upon carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
GEN 15:12 And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.
GEN 15:13 And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years.
GEN 15:14 But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.
GEN 15:15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age.
GEN 15:16 But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time.
GEN 15:17 And when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.
GEN 15:18 That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river of Egypt even to the great river Euphrates.
GEN 15:19 The Cineans and Cenezites, the Cedmonites,
GEN 15:20 And the Hethites, and the Pherezites, the Raphaim also,
GEN 15:21 And the Amorrhites, and the Chanaanits, and the Gergesites, and the Jebusites.
