[1] After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.” [2] Abram said, “Lord§ Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” [3] Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.” [4] Behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.” [5] Yahweh brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.” [6] He believed in Yahweh, who credited it to him for righteousness. [7] He said to Abram, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.” [8] He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?” [9] He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” [10] He brought him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds. [11] The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away. [12] When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him. [13] He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years. [14] I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth; [15] but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age. [16] In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.” [17] It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. [18] In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates: [19] the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, [20] the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, [21] the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

The Covenant

[1] After H310 these H428 things H1697 the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came H1961 unto H413 Abram H87 in a vision, H4236 saying, H559 Fear H3372 not, H408 Abram: H87 I H595 am thy shield, H4043 and thy H7939 exceeding H3966 great H7235 reward. H7939 [2] And Abram H87 said, H559 Lord H136 God, H3069 what H4100 wilt thou give H5414 me, seeing I H595 go H1980 childless, H6185 and the steward H1121 H4943 of my house H1004 is this H1931 Eliezer H461 of Damascus? H1834 [3] And Abram H87 said, H559 Behold, H2005 to me thou hast given H5414 no H3808 seed: H2233 and, lo, H2009 one born H1121 in my house H1004 is H3423 mine H853 heir. H3423 [4] And, behold, H2009 the word H1697 of the Lord H3068 came unto him, H413 saying, H559 This H2088 shall H3423 not H3808 be thine heir; H3423 but H3588 H518 he that H834 shall come forth H3318 out of thine own bowels H4578 H1931 shall be thine heir. H3423 [5] And he brought H3318 him H853 forth H3318 abroad, H2351 and said, H559 Look H5027 now H4994 toward heaven, H8064 and tell H5608 the stars, H3556 if H518 thou be able H3201 to number H5608 them: H853 and he said H559 unto him, So H3541 shall H1961 thy seed H2233 be. H1961 [6] And he believed H539 in the Lord; H3068 and he counted it H2803 to him for righteousness. H6666 [7] And he said H559 unto him, H413 I H589 am the Lord H3068 that H834 brought thee out H3318 of Ur H218 of the Chaldees, H3778 to give H5414 thee H853 this H2063 land H776 to inherit it. H3423 [8] And he said, H559 Lord H136 God, H3069 whereby H4100 shall I know H3045 that H3588 I shall inherit it? H3423 [9] And he said H559 unto him, H413 Take H3947 me an heifer H5697 of three years old, H8027 and a she goat H5795 of three years old, H8027 and a ram H352 of three years old, H8027 and a turtledove, H8449 and a young pigeon. H1469 [10] And he took H3947 unto him H853 all H3605 these, H428 and divided H1334 them H853 in the midst, H8432 and laid H5414 each H376 piece H1335 one against H7125 another: H7453 but H853 the birds H6833 divided H1334 he H1334 not. H3808 [11] And when the fowls H5861 came down H3381 upon H5921 the carcases, H6297 Abram H87 drove H5380 them H853 away. H5380 [12] And when H1961 the sun H8121 was going down, H935 a deep sleep H8639 fell H5307 upon H5921 Abram; H87 and, lo, H2009 an horror H367 of great H1419 darkness H2825 fell H5307 upon him. H5921 [13] And he said H559 unto Abram, H87 Know H3045 of a surety H3045 that H3588 thy seed H2233 shall be H1961 a stranger H1616 in a land H776 that is not H3808 their’s, and shall serve them; H5647 and they shall afflict H6031 them H853 four H702 hundred H3967 years; H8141 [14] and also H1571 H853 that nation, H1471 whom H834 they shall serve, H5647 will H1777 I H595 judge: H1777 and afterward H310 H3651 shall they come out H3318 with great H1419 substance. H7399 [15] And thou H859 shalt go H935 to H413 thy fathers H1 in peace; H7965 thou shalt be buried H6912 in a good H2896 old age. H7872 [16] But in the fourth H7243 generation H1755 they shall come H7725 hither H2008 again: H7725 for H3588 the iniquity H5771 of the Amorites H567 is not H3808 yet H5704 H2008 full. H8003 [17] And it came to pass, that, when H1961 the sun H8121 went down, H935 and it was H1961 dark, H5939 behold H2009 a smoking H6227 furnace, H8574 and a burning H784 lamp H3940§ that H834 passed H5674 between H996 those H428 pieces. H1506 [18] In the same H1931 day H3117 the Lord H3068 made H3772 a covenant H1285 with H854 Abram, H87 saying, H559 Unto thy seed H2233 have I given H5414 H853 this H2063 land, H776 from the river H5104 of Egypt H4714 unto H5704 the great H1419 river, H5104 the river H5104 Euphrates: H6578 [19] H853 the Kenites, H7017 and H853 the Kenizzites, H7074 and H853 the Kadmonites, H6935 [20] and H853 the Hittites, H2850 and H853 the Perizzites, H6522 and H853 the Rephaims, H7497 [21] and H853 the Amorites, H567 and H853 the Canaanites, H3669 and H853 the Girgashites, H1622 and H853 the Jebusites.

[1] Μετὰ G3326 δὲ G1161 τὰ G3588 ῥήματα G4487 ταῦτα G5023 ἐγενήθη G1096 ῥῆμα G4487 κυρίου G2962 πρὸς G4314 Αβραμ ἐν G1722 ὁράματι G3705 λέγων G3004 Μὴ G3361 φοβοῦ, G5399 Αβραμ· ἐγὼ G1473 ὑπερασπίζω σου· G4675 ὁ G3588 μισθός G3408 σου G4675 πολὺς G4183 ἔσται G2071 σφόδρα.

G4571 [5] Ἐξήγαγεν G1806 δὲ G1161 αὐτὸν G846 ἔξω G1854 καὶ G2532 εἶπεν G2036 αὐτῷ G846 Ἀνάβλεψον G308 δὴ G1211 εἰς G1519 τὸν G3588 οὐρανὸν G3772 καὶ G2532 ἀρίθμησον G705 τοὺς G3588 ἀστέρας, G792 εἰ G1487 δυνήσῃ G1410 ἐξαριθμῆσαι αὐτούς. G846 Καὶ G2532 εἶπεν G2036 Οὕτως G3779 ἔσται G2071 τὸ G3588 σπέρμα G4690 σου. G4675 [6] Καὶ G2532 ἐπίστευσεν G4100 Αβραμ τῷ G3588 θεῷ, G2316 καὶ G2532 ἐλογίσθη G3049 αὐτῷ G846 εἰς G1519 δικαιοσύνην. G1343 [7] Εἶπεν G2036 δὲ G1161 πρὸς G4314 αὐτόν G846 Ἐγὼ G1473 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 ὁ G3588 ἐξαγαγών G1806 σε G4571 ἐκ G1537 χώρας G5561 Χαλδαίων G5466 ὥστε G5620 δοῦναί G1325 σοι G4671 τὴν G3588 γῆν G1093 ταύτην G3778 κληρονομῆσαι. G2816 [8] Εἶπεν G2036 δέ G1161 Δέσποτα G1203 κύριε, G2962 κατὰ G2596 τί G5101 γνώσομαι G1097 ὅτι G3754 κληρονομήσω G2816 αὐτήν; G846 [9] Εἶπεν G2036 δὲ G1161 αὐτῷ G846 Λαβέ G2983 μοι G3427 δάμαλιν G1151 τριετίζουσαν καὶ G2532 αἶγα τριετίζουσαν καὶ G2532 κριὸν τριετίζοντα καὶ G2532 τρυγόνα G5167 καὶ G2532 περιστεράν. G4058 [10] Ἔλαβεν G2983 δὲ G1161 αὐτῷ G846 πάντα G3956 ταῦτα G5023 καὶ G2532 διεῖλεν G1244 αὐτὰ G846 μέσα G3319 καὶ G2532 ἔθηκεν G5087 αὐτὰ G846 ἀντιπρόσωπα ἀλλήλοις, G240 τὰ G3588 δὲ G1161 ὄρνεα G3732 οὐ G3756 διεῖλεν. G1244 [11] Κατέβη G2597 δὲ G1161 ὄρνεα G3732 ἐπὶ G1909 τὰ G3588 σώματα, G4983 τὰ G3588 διχοτομήματα αὐτῶν, G846 καὶ G2532 συνεκάθισεν G4776 αὐτοῖς G846 Αβραμ. [12] Περὶ G4012 δὲ G1161 ἡλίου G2246 δυσμὰς G1424 ἔκστασις G1611 ἐπέπεσεν G1968 τῷ G3588 Αβραμ, καὶ G2532 ἰδοὺ G2400 φόβος G5401 σκοτεινὸς G4652 μέγας G3173 ἐπιπίπτει G1968 αὐτῷ. G846 [13] Καὶ G2532 ἐρρέθη G4483 πρὸς G4314 Αβραμ Γινώσκων G1097 γνώσῃ G1097 ὅτι G3754 πάροικον G3941 ἔσται G2071 τὸ G3588 σπέρμα G4690 σου G4675 ἐν G1722 γῇ G1093 οὐκ G3756 ἰδίᾳ, G2398 καὶ G2532 δουλώσουσιν G1402 αὐτοὺς G846 καὶ G2532 κακώσουσιν G2559 αὐτοὺς G846 καὶ G2532 ταπεινώσουσιν G5013 αὐτοὺς G846 τετρακόσια G5071 ἔτη.
