Genesis 15 (WEBP)

[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.”

Genesis 15:2 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai”.

Genesis 15 (BYZ)

[1] μετα δε τα ρηματα ταυτα εγενηθη ρημα κυριου προς αβραμ εν οραματι λεγων μη φοβου αβραμ εγω υπερασπιζω σου ο μισθος σου πολυς εσται σφοδρα
[2] λεγει δε αβραμ δεσποτα τι μοι δωσεις εγω δε απολυομαι ατεκνος ο δε υιος μασεκ της οικογενους μου ουτος δαμασκος ελιεζερ
[3] και ειπεν αβραμ επειδη εμοι ουκ εδωκας σπερμα ο δε οικογενης μου κληρονομησει με
[4] και ευθυς φωνη κυριου εγενετο προς αυτον λεγων ου κληρονομησει σε ουτος αλλ ος εξελευσεται εκ σου ουτος κληρονομησει σε
[5] εξηγαγεν δε αυτον εξω και ειπεν αυτω αναβλεψον δη εις τον ουρανον και αριθμησον τους αστερας ει δυνηση εξαριθμησαι αυτους και ειπεν ουτως εσται το σπερμα σου
[6] και επιστευσεν αβραμ τω θεω και ελογισθη αυτω εις δικαιοσυνην
[7] ειπεν δε προς αυτον εγω ο θεος ο εξαγαγων σε εκ χωρας χαλδαιων ωστε δουναι σοι την γην ταυτην κληρονομησαι
[8] ειπεν δε δεσποτα κυριε κατα τι γνωσομαι οτι κληρονομησω αυτην
[9] ειπεν δε αυτω λαβε μοι δαμαλιν τριετιζουσαν και αιγα τριετιζουσαν και κριον τριετιζοντα και τρυγονα και περιστεραν
[10] ελαβεν δε αυτω παντα ταυτα και διειλεν αυτα μεσα και εθηκεν αυτα αντιπροσωπα αλληλοις τα δε ορνεα ου διειλεν
[11] κατεβη δε ορνεα επι τα σωματα τα διχοτομηματα αυτων και συνεκαθισεν αυτοις αβραμ
[12] περι δε ηλιου δυσμας εκστασις επεπεσεν τω αβραμ και ιδου φοβος σκοτεινος μεγας επιπιπτει αυτω
[13] και ερρεθη προς αβραμ γινωσκων γνωση οτι παροικον εσται το σπερμα σου εν γη ουκ ιδια και δουλωσουσιν αυτους και κακωσουσιν αυτους και ταπεινωσουσιν αυτους τετρακοσια ετη
[14] το δε εθνος ω εαν δουλευσωσιν κρινω εγω μετα δε ταυτα εξελευσονται ωδε μετα αποσκευης πολλης
[15] συ δε απελευση προς τους πατερας σου μετ ειρηνης ταφεις εν γηρει καλω
[16] τεταρτη δε γενεα αποστραφησονται ωδε ουπω γαρ αναπεπληρωνται αι αμαρτιαι των αμορραιων εως του νυν
[17] επει δε εγινετο ο ηλιος προς δυσμαις φλοξ εγενετο και ιδου κλιβανος καπνιζομενος και λαμπαδες πυρος αι διηλθον ανα μεσον των διχοτομηματων τουτων
[18] εν τη ημερα εκεινη διεθετο κυριος τω αβραμ διαθηκην λεγων τω σπερματι σου δωσω την γην ταυτην απο του ποταμου αιγυπτου εως του ποταμου του μεγαλου ποταμου ευφρατου
[19] τους καιναιους και τους κενεζαιους και τους κεδμωναιους
[20] και τους χετταιους και τους φερεζαιους και τους ραφαιν
[21] και τους αμορραιους και τους χαναναιους και τους ευαιους και τους γεργεσαιους και τους ιεβουσαιους
