Genesis:15:7-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And he said to him , "
I am the LORD who brought you from Ur of the Chalde '
ans ,
to give you this land to possess ."
*
But he said , "
O Lord GOD ,
how am I to know that I shall possess it ?"
*
He said to him , "
Bring me a heifer three years old ,
a she-goat three years old ,
a ram three years old ,
a turtledove ,
and a young pigeon ."
*
And he brought him all these ,
cut them in two ,
and laid each half over against the other ;
but he did not cut the birds in two .
*
And when birds of prey came down upon the carcasses ,
Abram drove them away .
*
As the sun was going down ,
a deep sleep fell on Abram ;
and lo ,
a dread and great darkness fell upon him .
*
Then the LORD said to Abram , "
Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs ,
and will be slaves there ,
and they will be oppressed for four hundred years ;
*
but I will bring judgment on the nation which they serve ,
and afterward they shall come out with great possessions .
*
As for yourself ,
you shall go to your fathers in peace ;
you shall be buried in a good old age .
*
And they shall come back here in the fourth generation ;
for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete ."
*
When the sun had gone down and it was dark ,
behold ,
a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces .
*
On 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 Euphra '
tes ,
*
the land of the Ken '
ites ,
the Ken '
izzites ,
the Kad '
monites ,
*
the Hittites ,
the Per '
izzites ,
the Reph '
aim ,
*
the Amorites ,
the Canaanites ,
the Gir '
gashites and the Jeb '
usites ."
