Genesis 15

Abram Promised a Son

1

Afterh310 theseh428 thingsh1697  athe wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 cameh1961 to Abramh87 in a visionh4236, sayingh559, " bDo not fearh3372a, Abramh87, I am  ca shieldh4043 to you;  1Your  drewardh7939 shall be veryh3966 greath7235a."

2

Abramh87 saidh559, "O Lordh136  1GODh3068, whath4100 will You giveh5414 me, since I  2amh1980 childlessh6185, and the  3heirh1121h4943 of my househ1004 is Eliezerh461 of Damascush1834?"

3

And Abramh87 saidh559, " 1Sinceh2005 You have givenh5414 noh3808  2offspringh2233 to me,  3oneh1121  abornh1121 in my househ1004 is my heirh3423."

4

Then beholdh2009, the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 came to him, sayingh559, "Thish2088 man will not be your heirh3423;  abut one whoh834 will comeh3318 forthh3318 from your own  1bodyh4578, he shall be your heirh3423."

5

And He tookh3318 him outsideh2351 and saidh559, "Nowh4994 lookh5027 toward the heavensh8064, and  acounth5608 the starsh3556, ifh518 you are ableh3201 to counth5608 them." And He saidh559 to him, " bSoh3541 shall your  1descendantsh2233 be."

6

 aThen he believedh539 in the LORDh3068; and He reckonedh2803 it to him as righteousnessh6666.

7

And He saidh559 to him, "I am the LORDh3068 whoh834 broughth3318 you out of  aUrh218a of the Chaldeansh3778, to  bgiveh5414 you thish2088 landh776 to  1possessh3423 it."

8

He saidh559, "O Lordh136  1GODh3068,  ahowh4100 may I knowh3045 that I will  2possessh3423 it?"

9

So He saidh559 to him, " 1Bringh3947 Me a threeh8027 yearh8027 oldh8027 heiferh5697, and a threeh8027 yearh8027 oldh8027 femaleh5795 goath5795, and a threeh8027 yearh8027 oldh8027 ramh352a, and a turtledoveh8449, and a youngh1469 pigeonh1469."

10

Then he  1broughth3947 allh3605 theseh428 to Him and  acuth1334 them  2in twoh8432, and laidh5414 eachh376 halfh1335 oppositeh7122 the otherh7453; but he  bdid not cuth1334 the birdsh6833.

11

The birdsh5861 of preyh5861 cameh3381 downh3381 upon the carcassesh6297, and Abramh87 droveh5380 them awayh5380.

12

Now when the sunh8121 was goingh935 down,  aa deeph8639 sleeph8639 fellh5307 upon Abramh87; and beholdh2009,  1terrorh367 and greath1419 darknessh2825 fellh5307 upon him.

13

God saidh559 to Abramh87, "Knowh3045 for certainh3045 that  ayour  1descendantsh2233 will be strangersh1616 in a landh776 that is not theirsh1992a,  2where  bthey will be enslavedh5647 and oppressedh6031a  cfourh702 hundredh3967 yearsh8141.

14

"But I will alsoh1571 judgeh1777 the nationh1471 whomh834 they will serveh5647, and afterwardh310h3651 they will comeh3318 out  awith  1manyh1419 possessionsh7399.

15

"As for you,  ayou shall goh935 to your fathersh1 in peaceh7965; you will be buriedh6912 at a goodh2896a oldh7872 ageh7872.

16

"Then in  athe fourthh7243 generationh1755 they will returnh7725 hereh2008, for  bthe iniquityh5771 of the Amoriteh567 is not yeth5704h2008 completeh8003."

17

It cameh1961 about when the sunh8121 had seth935, that it was veryh5939 darkh5939, and beholdh2009, there appeared a smokingh6227 ovenh8574 and a flamingh784 torchh3940 whichh834  apassedh5674a betweenh996 theseh428 piecesh1506.

18

On that dayh3117 the LORDh3068 madeh3772 a covenanth1285 with Abramh87, sayingh559, " aTo your  1descendantsh2233 I have givenh5414 thish2088 landh776, From  bthe riverh5104 of Egypth4714 as farh5704 as the greath1419 riverh5104, the riverh5104 Euphratesh6578:

19

 athe Keniteh7017 and the Kenizziteh7074 and the Kadmoniteh6935

20

and the Hittiteh2850 and the Perizziteh6522 and the Rephaimh7497

21

and the Amoriteh567 and the Canaaniteh3669a and the Girgashiteh1622 and the Jebusiteh2983."
