[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50]

GEN 15:1 After these things hath the word of Jehovah been unto Abram in a vision, saying, `Fear not, Abram, I `am' a shield to thee, thy reward `is' exceeding great.'

GEN 15:2 And Abram saith, `Lord Jehovah, what dost Thou give to me, and I am going childless? and an acquired son in my house is Demmesek Eliezer.'

GEN 15:3 And Abram saith, `Lo, to me Thou hast not given seed, and lo, a domestic doth heir me.'

GEN 15:4 And lo, the word of Jehovah `is' unto him, saying, `This `one' doth not heir thee; but he who cometh out from thy bowels, he doth heir thee;'

GEN 15:5 and He bringeth him out without, and saith, `Look attentively, I pray thee, towards the heavens, and count the stars, if thou art able to count them;' and He saith to him, `Thus is thy seed.'

GEN 15:6 And he hath believed in Jehovah, and He reckoneth it to him -- righteousness.

GEN 15:7 And He saith unto him, `I `am' Jehovah who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to thee this land to possess it;'

GEN 15:8 and he saith, `Lord Jehovah, whereby do I know that I possess it?'

GEN 15:9 And He saith unto him, `Take for Me a heifer of three years, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a young bird;'

GEN 15:10 and he taketh to him all these, and separateth them in the midst, and putteth each piece over against its fellow, but the bird he hath not divided;

GEN 15:11 and the ravenous birds come down upon the carcases, and Abram causeth them to turn back.

GEN 15:12 And the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep hath fallen upon Abram, and lo, a terror of great darkness is falling upon him;

GEN 15:13 and He saith to Abram, `knowing -- know that thy seed is a sojourner in a land not theirs, and they have served them, and they have afflicted them four hundred years,

GEN 15:14 and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go out with great substance;

GEN 15:15 and thou -- thou comest in unto thy fathers in peace; thou art buried in a good old age;

GEN 15:16 and the fourth generation doth turn back hither, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.'

GEN 15:17 And it cometh to pass -- the sun hath gone in, and thick darkness hath been -- and lo, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of fire, which hath passed over between those pieces.

GEN 15:18 In that day hath Jehovah made with Abram a covenant, saying, `To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Phrat,

GEN 15:19 with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,

GEN 15:20 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,

GEN 15:21 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.'
