Genesis 15:9-21
-
9. So He said to him, "Bring Me a three year old heifer, and a three year
old female goat, and a three year old dram, and a turtledove, and a young
pigeon."
-
10. The he brought all these to Him and cut them in two, and laid each
half opposite the other; but he did not cut the birds.
-
11. And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and abram drove
them away.
-
12. Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and
behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.
-
13. And God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will
be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved
and oppressed four hundred years.
-
14. "But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve; and afterward
they will come out with many possessions.
-
15. "And as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be
buried at a good old age.
-
16. "Then in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity
of the Amorites is not yet complete."
-
17. And it came about when the sun had set, that it was very dark, and
behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a flaming torch which
passed between these pieces.
-
18. On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants
I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river,
the river Euphrates:
-
19. the Kenite and the Kenizzite and the Kadmonite
-
20. and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Raphaim
-
21. and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite."
