Genesis 15
15
The Promise of a Son Ratified
1After these things the word of YHWH came to Abram in a vision, saying,
“Don’t be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,
your exceedingly great reward.”
2Abram said, “Lord YHWH, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3Abram said, “You have not given children to me, so look, one born in my house will my heir.”
4Just then, the word of YHWH came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.” 5YHWH brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.” 6Abram believed YHWH, who credited it to him as righteousness. 7Then he said to Abram, “I am YHWH who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.”
8He said, “Lord YHWH, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
9He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10He brought him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds. 11The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him. 13He said to Abram, “You may know-know that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years. 14I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth; 15but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age. 16In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.” 17When the sun went down, and it was dark, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the pieces. 18In that day YHWH made a covenant with Abram, saying,
“I have given this land to your offspring,
from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: 19the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, 21the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
