AFTER these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000379">2</a>. And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000380">3</a>. And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000381">4</a>. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000382">5</a>. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000383">6</a>. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000384">7</a>. And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000385">8</a>. And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000386">9</a>. And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000387">10</a>. And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000388">11</a>. And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000389">12</a>. And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000390">13</a>. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000391">14</a>. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.</li>

<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000393">16</a>. But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000394">17</a>. And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000395">18</a>. In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:</li>
