After these events,
the word of the
LORD
came to Abram in a vision :
“Do
not
be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very
great reward. ”
After these things
the word of Yahweh
came to Abram in a vision ,
saying,
"Don't
be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly
great reward. "
But
Abram replied
, “O
Lord GOD
, what can
You give me, since
I remain
childless, and the
heir
of
my house
is Eliezer of Damascus? ”
Abram said
, "
Lord Yahweh
, what will
you give me, seeing
I go
childless, and he
who
will
inherit
my estate
is Eliezer of Damascus? "
Abram continued
, “
Behold, You have given me
no offspring
, so
a
servant
in my household
will
be
my heir. ”
Abram said
, "
Behold, to
me
you have given no seed:
and
, behold,
one
born
in my house
is
my heir. "
Then
the word of the
LORD
came to Abram
, saying, “
This one
will not be your heir, but one
who comes
from
your own body will be your heir. ”
Behold,
the word of Yahweh
came to him
, saying, "
This man
will not be your heir, but he
who will
come
forth
out
of
your own body will be your heir. "
And
the
LORD
took
him outside and said, “Now
look to
the heavens
and count the stars, if you are able. ”
Then
He told
him
, “
So shall your offspring
be. ”
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 shall your seed
be. "
Abram
believed the
LORD,
and it was
credited
to him as
righteousness.
He
believed in
Yahweh;
and he
reckoned
it to him for
righteousness.
The
LORD
also
told
him, “
I am the
LORD,
who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans
to give you this land to possess
. ”
He
said
to
him, "
I am Yahweh
who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees,
to give you this land to inherit
it
. "
But
Abram
replied
, “
Lord GOD
, how can
I know that I will possess
it? ”
He
said
, "
Lord Yahweh
, how will
I know that I will inherit
it? "

the
LORD
said to him, “Bring
Me a heifer, a goat, and
a ram ,

and a young pigeon. ”
He
said to him, "Take
me a heifer three
years
old
, a female
goat three
years
old
, a ram three years old, a turtle-dove,
and a young pigeon. "

Abram
brought
all these to
Him
, split
each
of
them down
the middle, and laid the
halves
opposite
each other .
The birds ,
however,
he
did
not
cut
in
half
.
He
took
him
all these, and
divided
them in
the middle, and laid each half
opposite
the
other ;
but
he
didn't
divide
the birds.

LORD
said to Abram, “

that your descendants

strangers
in a land that is not their

, and they will be
enslaved
and
mistreated
four hundred years.
He
said to Abram, "
Know for sure
that your seed
will live
as
foreigners
in a land that is not theirs
, and will
serve
them.
They will afflict
them
four hundred years.
But
I will judge the
nation they serve as
slaves,
and
afterward they will depart
with many
possessions
.
I will also
judge that
nation ,
whom
they will
serve .
Afterward they will come
out
with great
substance

You ,
however,
will go to your fathers in peace and
be buried at
a ripe
old age.

will
be buried in

old age.

will return
here, for the iniquity of the Amorites
