1 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.
2 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?
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 And he believed * h539 h8689 in the LORD * h3068; and he counted * h2803 h8799 it to him for righteousness * h6666.
7 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.
8 And he said * h559 h8799, Lord * h136 GOD * h3069, whereby * h4100 shall I know * h3045 h8799 that I shall inherit it * h3423 h8799?
9 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.
10 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.
11 And when the fowls * h5861 came down * h3381 h8799 upon the carcases * h6297, Abram * h87 drove them away * h5380 h8686.
12 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.
13 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;
14 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.
15 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.
16 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.
17 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. a burning...: Heb. a lamp of fire
18 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:
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.
