15:1 After 310 these things 1697 the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came 1961 8804 unto Abram 87 in a vision 4236, saying 559 8800, Fear 3372 8799 not, Abram 87: I [am] thy shield 4043, [and] thy exceeding 3966 great 7235 8687 reward 7939.

15:2 And Abram 87 said 559 8799, Lord 136 GOD 3069, what wilt thou give 5414 8799 me, seeing I go 1980 8802 childless 6185, and the steward 1121 4943 of my house 1004 [is] this 1931 Eliezer 461 of Damascus 1834?

15:3 And Abram 87 said 559 8799, Behold, to me thou hast given 5414 8804 no 3808 seed 2233: and, lo, one born 1121 in my house 1004 is mine heir 3423 8802.

15:4 And, behold, the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 [came] unto him, saying 559 8800, This shall not be thine heir 3423 8799; but he that shall come forth 3318 8799 out of thine own bowels 4578 shall be thine heir 3423 8799.

15:5 And he brought him forth 3318 8686 abroad 2351, and said 559 8799, Look 5027 8685 now toward heaven 8064, and tell 5608 8798 the stars 3556, if thou be able 3201 8799 to number 5608 8800 them: and he said 559 8799 unto him, So 3541 shall thy seed 2233 be.

15:6 And he believed 539 8689 in the LORD 3068; and he counted 2803 8799 it to him for righteousness 6666.

15:7 And he said 559 8799 unto him, I [am] the LORD 3068 that brought thee out 3318 8689 of Ur 218 of the Chaldees 3778, to give 5414 8800 thee this land 776 to inherit 3423 8800 it.

15:8 And he said 559 8799, Lord 136 GOD 3069, whereby 4100 shall I know 3045 8799 that I shall inherit it 3423 8799?

15:9 And he said 559 8799 unto him, Take 3947 8798 me an heifer 5697 of three years old 8027 8794, and a she goat 5795 of three years old 8027 8794, and a ram 352 of three years old 8027 8794, and a turtledove 8449, and a young pigeon 1469.

15:10 And he took 3947 8799 unto him all these, and divided 1334 8762 them in the midst 8432, and laid 5414 8799 each 376 piece 1335 one against 7125 8800 another 7453: but the birds 6833 divided 1334 8804 he not.

15:11 And when the fowls 5861 came down 3381 8799 upon the carcases 6297, Abram 87 drove them away 5380 8686.

15:12 And when the sun 8121 was going down 935 8800, a deep sleep 8639 fell 5307 8804 upon Abram 87; and, lo, an horror 367 of great 1419 darkness 2825 fell 5307 8802 upon him.

15:13 And he said 559 8799 unto Abram 87, Know 3045 8799 of a surety 3045 8800 that thy seed 2233 shall be a stranger 1616 in a land 776 [that is] not theirs, and shall serve 5647 8804 them; and they shall afflict 6031 8765 them four 702 hundred 3967 years 8141;

15:14 And also that nation 1471, whom they shall serve 5647 8799, will I judge 1777 8802: and afterward 310 3651 shall they come out 3318 8799 with great 1419 substance 7399.

15:15 And thou shalt go 935 8799 to thy fathers 1 in peace 7965; thou shalt be buried 6912 8735 in a good 2896 old age 7872.

15:16 But in the fourth 7243 generation 1755 they shall come hither 2008 again 7725 8799: for the iniquity 5771 of the Amorites 567 [is] not yet 2008 full 8003.

15:17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun 8121 went down 935 8804, and it was dark 5939, behold a smoking 6227 furnace 8574, and a burning 784 lamp 3940 that passed 5674 8804 between 996 those pieces 1506.(a burning…: Heb. a lamp of fire)

15:18 In the same 1931 day 3117 the LORD 3068 made 3772 8804 a covenant 1285 with Abram 87, saying 559 8800, Unto thy seed 2233 have I given 5414 8804 this land 776, from the river 5104 of Egypt 4714 unto the great 1419 river 5104, the river 5104 Euphrates 6578:

15:19 The Kenites 7017, and the Kenizzites 7074, and the Kadmonites 6935,

15:20 And the Hittites 2850, and the Perizzites 6522, and the Rephaims 7497,

15:21 And the Amorites 567, and the Canaanites 3669, and the Girgashites 1622, and the Jebusites 2983.
