15Genesis 15

1After 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.Select Genesis 15:1

2And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?Select Genesis 15:2

3And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.Select Genesis 15:3

4And, 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.Select Genesis 15:4

5And 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.Select Genesis 15:5

6And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.Select Genesis 15:6

7And 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.Select Genesis 15:7

8And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?Select Genesis 15:8

9And 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.Select Genesis 15:9

10And 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.Select Genesis 15:10

11And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.Select Genesis 15:11

12And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.Select Genesis 15:12

13And 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;Select Genesis 15:13

14And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.Select Genesis 15:14

15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.Select Genesis 15:15

16But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.Select Genesis 15:16

17And 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.Select Genesis 15:17

18In the same day the Lord 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:Select Genesis 15:18
