1 Af­ter these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vi­sion, say­ing, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy ex­ceed­ing great re­ward. 2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, see­ing I go child­less, and the stew­ard of my house is this Eliez­er of Dam­as­cus? 3 And Abram said, Be­hold, to me thou hast giv­en no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. 4 And, be­hold, the word of the LORD came unto him, say­ing, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bow­els shall be thine heir. 5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now to­ward heav­en, and tell the stars, if thou be able to num­ber them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 6 And he be­lieved in the LORD; and he count­ed it to him for righ­teous­ness. 7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to in­her­it it. 8 And he said, Lord GOD, where­by shall I know that I shall in­her­it it? 9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a tur­tle­dove, and a young pi­geon. 10 And he took unto him all these, and di­vid­ed them in the midst, and laid each piece one against an­oth­er: but the birds di­vid­ed he not. 11 And when the fowls came down upon the car­cas­es, Abram drove them away. 12 And when the sun was go­ing down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an hor­ror of great dark­ness fell upon him. 13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a sure­ty that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall af­flict them four hun­dred years; 14 And also that na­tion, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and af­ter­ward shall they come out with great sub­stance. 15 And thou shalt go to thy fa­thers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 16 But in the fourth gen­er­a­tion they shall come hith­er again: for the in­iq­ui­ty of the Amor­ites is not yet full. 17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, be­hold a smok­ing fur­nace, and a burn­ing lamp that passed be­tween those pieces. 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, say­ing, Unto thy seed have I giv­en this land, from the riv­er of Egypt unto the great riv­er, the riv­er Eu­phrates: 19 The Ken­ites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kad­monites, 20 And the Hit­tites, and the Per­izzites, and the Rephaims, 21 And the Amor­ites, and the Canaan­ites, and the Gir­gashites, and the Je­busites.
