After
these things
the word
of the LORD
came
unto Abram
in a vision,
saying,
Fear
not, Abram:
I am thy shield,
and thy exceeding
great
reward.

And Abram
said,
Lord
GOD,
what wilt thou give
me, seeing I go
childless,
and the steward
of my house
is this

And Abram
said,
Behold, to me thou hast given
no
seed:
and, lo, one born
in my house
is mine heir.
And, behold, the word
of the LORD
came unto him, saying,
This shall not be thine heir;
but he that shall come forth
out of thine own bowels
shall be thine heir.
And he brought him forth
abroad,
and said,
Look
now toward heaven,
and tell
the stars,
if thou be able
to number
them: and he said
unto him, So
shall thy seed
be.

And he believed
in the LORD;
and he counted
it to him for righteousness.
And he said
unto him, I am the LORD
that brought thee out
of Ur
of the Chaldees,
to give
thee this land
to inherit
it.
And he said,
Lord
GOD,
whereby
shall I know
that I shall inherit it?
And he said
unto him, Take
me an heifer
of three years old,
and a she goat
of three years old,
and a ram
of three years old,
and a turtledove,
and a young pigeon.

And he took
unto him all these, and divided
them in the midst,
and laid
each
piece
one against
another:
but the birds
divided
he not.
And when the fowls
came down
upon the carcases,
Abram
drove them away.
And when the sun
was going down,
a deep sleep
fell
upon Abram;
and, lo, an horror
of great
darkness
fell
upon him.
And he said
unto Abram,
Know
of a surety
that thy seed
shall be a stranger
in a land
that is not theirs, and shall serve
them; and they shall afflict
them four
hundred
years;

And also that nation,
whom they shall serve,
will I judge:
and afterward
shall they come out
with great
substance.
And thou shalt go
to thy fathers
in peace;
thou shalt be buried
in a good
old age.
But in the fourth
generation
they shall come hither
again:
for the iniquity
of the Amorites
is not yet
full.
And it came to pass, that, when the sun
went down,
and it was dark,
behold a smoking
furnace,
and a burning
lamp
that passed
between
those pieces.
