Genesis 15 — ASV
15Verse 1After these things the word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.Verse 2And Abram said, O Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?Verse 3And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.Verse 4And, behold, the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.Verse 5And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.Verse 6And he believed in Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.Verse 7And he said unto him, I am Jehovah that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.Verse 8And he said, O Lord Jehovah, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?Verse 9And he said unto him, Take me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.Verse 10And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not.Verse 11And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.Verse 12And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.Verse 13And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;Verse 14and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.Verse 15But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.Verse 16And in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.Verse 17And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch that passed between these pieces.Verse 18In that day Jehovah 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:Verse 19the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,Verse 20and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,Verse 21and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.
