Genesis 15:1 After310 these things1697 the word1697 of Yahweh3068 came1961 to Abram87 in a vision,4236 saying,559 "Don't be afraid,3372 Abram.87 I am your shield,4043 your exceedingly3966 great7235 reward."7939
Genesis 15:2 Abram87 said,559 "Lord136{The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai”.} Yahweh,136 what will you give5414 me, since I go1980 childless,6185 and he1121 who will inherit my estate1004 is1931 Eliezer461 of Damascus?"18343 Abram87 said,559 "Behold, to me you have given5414 no3808 seed:2233 and, behold, one born1121 in my house1004 is my heir."3423
Genesis 15:4 Behold, the word1697 of Yahweh3068 came to him, saying,559 "This man will not be your heir,3423 but he who will come out3318 of your own body4578 will be your heir."34235 Yahweh brought him outside,3318 and2351 said,559 "Look5027 now toward the sky,8064 and count5608 the stars,3556 if you are able3201 to count5608 them." He said559 to Abram, "So3541 shall your seed2233 be."
6 He believed539 in Yahweh;3068 and he reckoned2803 it to him for righteousness.66667 He said559 to him, "I am Yahweh3068 who brought you out3318 of Ur218 of the Chaldees,3778 to give5414 you this land776 to inherit3423 it."
Genesis 15:8 He said,559 "Lord136 Yahweh,136 how4100 will I know3045 that I will inherit it?"3423
Genesis 15:9 He said559 to him, "Bring3947 me a heifer5697 three years old,8027 a female goat5795 three years old,8027 a ram352 three years old,8027 a turtledove,8449 and a young pigeon."146910 He brought3947 him all of these, and divided1334 them in the middle,8432 and laid5414 each376 half1335 opposite7125 the other;7453 but he didn't divide1334 the birds.683311 The birds5861 of prey came down3381 on the carcasses,6297 and Abram87 drove them away.5380
Genesis 15:12 When the sun8121 was going down,935 a deep sleep8639 fell5307 on Abram.87 Now terror367 and great1419 darkness2825 fell5307 on him.
13 He said559 to Abram,87 "Know3045 for sure3045 that your seed2233 will live as foreigners1616 in a land776 that is not theirs, and will serve5647 them. They will afflict6031 them four702 hundred3967 years.814114 I will also judge1777 that nation,1471 whom they will serve.5647 Afterward310 they will come out3318 with great1419 wealth,739915 but you will go935 to your fathers1 in peace.7965 You will be buried6912 in a good2896 old age.787216 In the fourth7243 generation1755 they will come here2008 again,7725 for the iniquity5771 of the Amorite567 is not yet2008 full."800317 It came to pass that, when the sun8121 went down,935 and it was dark,5939 behold, a smoking6227 furnace,8574 and a flaming784 torch3940 passed5674 between996 these pieces.150618 In that1931 day3117 Yahweh3068 made3772 a covenant1285 with Abram,87 saying,559 "To your seed2233 I have given5414 this land,776 from the river5104 of Egypt4714 to the great1419 river,5104 the river5104 Euphrates:657819 the Kenites,7017 the Kenizzites,7074 the Kadmonites,693520 the Hittites,2850 the Perizzites,6522 the Rephaim,749721 the Amorites,567 the Canaanites,3669 the Girgashites,1622 and the Jebusites."2983
