Genesis 15
God’s Covenant with Abram
1 #
Gen 21.17; 26.24; Deut 33.29; Prov 11.8; Dan 10.1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” 2#Acts 7.5But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”#15.2 Meaning of Heb uncertain 3#Gen 14.14And Abram said, “You have given me no offspring, so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.” 4#Gal 4.28But the word of the Lord came to him, “This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir.” 5#Gen 22.17; Ps 147.4; Jer 33.22; Rom 4.18; Heb 11.12He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” 6And he believed the Lord, and the Lord#15.6 Heb he reckoned it to him as righteousness.

Gen 11.31; 13.15, 17 Then he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.” 8#Lk 1.18But he said, “O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess 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.” 10#Lev 1.17; Jer 34.18He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other, but he did not cut the birds in two. 11And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

Gen 2.21
As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and terrifying darkness descended upon him. 13#Ex 12.40; Acts 7.6Then the Lord#15.13 Heb he said to Abram, “Know this for certain, that your offspring shall be aliens in a land that is not theirs and shall be slaves there, and they shall be oppressed for four hundred years, 14#Ex 12.36but I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions. 15#Gen 25.8As for yourself, you shall go to your ancestors in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age. 16#1 Kings 21.26And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

Jer 34.18, 19 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 18#Gen 12.7; 24.7; Ex 23.31; Num 34.3; Deut 11.24; Josh 1.4On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I give this land, 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.”
