Gen.|15:1|-||1|After these things the word of Jehovah came to Abram in a vision, saying, Do not be afraid, Abram; I am your |2a|shield and your exceedingly great |2|reward.
Gen.|15:2|-|And Abram said, O Lord Jehovah, what will You give me, for I go |a|childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?
Gen.|15:3|-|And Abram said, Since You have given me no |1a|seed, therefore, a |2|servant in my house is my heir.
Gen.|15:4|-|But then the word of Jehovah came to him, saying, This man shall not be your heir, but he who will come out from your own |1|body shall be your heir.
Gen.|15:5|-|And He brought him outside and said, Look now toward the heavens, and count the |1a|stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, |b|So shall your seed be.
Gen.|15:6|-|And he |1a|believed Jehovah, and He accounted it to him as righteousness.
Gen.|15:7|-|Then He said to him, I am Jehovah who brought you out of |a|Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to inherit it.
Gen.|15:8|-|And he said, O Lord Jehovah, |1|how will I know that I will inherit it?
Gen.|15:9|-|And He said to him, Bring Me a three-year-old |1|heifer and a three-year-old female goat and a three-year-old ram and a turtledove and a young pigeon.
Gen.|15:10|-|And he |1|brought Him all these and |a|cut them in two in the middle and laid the half of each opposite the other, but the |b|birds he did not cut in two.
Gen.|15:11|-|And the |1a|birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Gen.|15:12|-|And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, behold, a terror and great darkness fell upon him.
Gen.|15:13|-|And He said to Abram, Know assuredly that your seed will be |a|sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and they will serve them; and they will |1b|afflict them |2c|four hundred years.
Gen.|15:14|-|But I will also |a|judge that nation, whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with great |b|possessions.
Gen.|15:15|-|But as for you, you will go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried in a good |a|old age.
Gen.|15:16|-|And in the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the |a|Amorites is not yet complete.
Gen.|15:17|-|And when the sun went down and it was dark, there came a smoking |1|furnace and a |1|torch of fire which passed between these pieces.
Gen.|15:18|-|On that day Jehovah made a |a|covenant with Abram, saying,To your |b|seed do I give this land,
From the |1|river of Egypt to the great |c|river, the river Euphrates:
Gen.|15:19|-|The land of the Kenites and the Kenizzites and the Kadmonites
Gen.|15:20|-|And the Hittites and the Perizzites and the |1|Rephaim
Gen.|15:21|-|And the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Girgashites and the Jebusites.
