Yahweh's Covenant With Abram

¹⁴ But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth. ¹⁵ As for you, you will go to your fathers in peace; at the end of a long life you will be put in your last resting-place. ¹⁶ And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.
