Genesis 15:7-17
7 He also said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.”(A)
9 He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
10 So he brought all these to Him, split them down the middle, and laid the pieces opposite each other, but he did not cut up the birds.(C)
11 Birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
12 As the sun was setting, a deep sleep(D) fell on Abram, and suddenly great terror and darkness descended on him.
13 Then the Lord said to Abram,(E) “Know this for certain: Your offspring will be foreigners(F) in a land that does not belong to them; they will be enslaved and oppressed(a) 400 years.(G)
14 However, I will judge the nation they serve,(H) and afterward they will go out with many possessions.(I)
15 But you will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.(J)
16 In the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”(b)(K)
