Genesis 15

1 After these things, the worde of the Lord came vnto Abram in a vision, saying, Feare not, Abram, I am thy buckler, and thine exceeding great reward.

After - the things these it came [the] word of Yahweh to Abram in the vision saying may not you fear O Abram I [am] a shield of you reward your [will be] great very.

2 And Abram said, O Lord God, what wilt thou giue me, seeing I goe childlesse, and the steward of mine house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

And he said Abram O Lord Yahweh what? will you give to me and I [am] going childless and [the] son of [the] acquisition of household my he [is] Damascus Eliezer.

3 Againe Abram saide, Beholde, to me thou hast giuen no seede: wherefore loe, a seruant of mine house shalbe mine heire.

And he said Abram here! to me not you have given offspring and there! [the] son of household my [is] inheriting me.

4 Then beholde, the worde of the Lord came vnto him, saying, This man shall not be thine heire, but one that shall come out of thine owne bowels, he shalbe thine heire.

And there! [the] word of Yahweh [was] to him saying not he will inherit you this [one] that except [one] who he will come out from inward parts your he he will inherit you.

5 Moreouer he brought him forth and said, Looke vp nowe vnto heauen, and tell ye starres, if thou be able to number them: and he said vnto him, So shall thy seede be.

And he brought out him the outside towards and he said look please the heavens towards and count the stars if you are able to count them and he said to him thus it will be offspring your.

6 And Abram beleeued the Lord, and he counted that to him for righteousnesse.

And he believed in Yahweh and he credited it to him righteousness.

7 Againe he saide vnto him, I am the Lord, that brought thee out of Vr of the Caldees, to giue thee this land to inherite it.

And he said to him I [am] Yahweh who I brought out you from Ur of [the] Chaldeans to give to you the land this to take possession of it.

8 And he said, O Lord God, whereby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it?

And he said O Lord Yahweh how? will I know that I will take possession of it.

9 Then he said vnto him, Take me an heifer of three yeeres olde, and a shee goate of three yeeres olde, and a ramme of three yeeres olde, a turtle doue also and a pigeon.

And he said to him bring! to me a heifer three years old and a goat three years old and a ram three years old and a turtle-dove and a young pigeon.

10 So he tooke all these vnto him, and deuided them into the middes, and laid euery piece one against an other: but the birdes deuided he not.

And he brought to him all these and he cut in pieces them in the middle and he set each piece its to meet neighbor its and the bird[s] not he cut in two.

11 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.

And it came down the bird[s] of prey on the carcasses and he drove away them Abram.

12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.

And it was the sun [about] to go and a deep sleep it fell on Abram and there! dread darkness great [was] falling on him.

13 Then he saide to Abram, Knowe for a suretie, that thy seede shalbe a stranger in a land, that is not theirs, foure hundreth yeeres, and shall serue them: and they shall intreate them euill.

And he said to Abram certainly you will know that a sojourner - it will be offspring your in a land [which] not [belongs] to them and they will serve them and they will afflict them four hundred year[s].

14 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

And also the nation which they will serve [will be] judging I and after thus they will come out with possession[s] great.

15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.

And you you will go to ancestors your in peace you will be buried in old age good.

16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.

And [the] generation fourth they will return hither for not [is] complete [the] iniquity of the Amorite[s] until now.

17 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.

And it was the sun it had gone and darkness it was and there! a fire pot of smoke and a torch of fire which it passed between the pieces these.

18 In that same day the Lord made a couenant with Abram, saying, Vnto thy seede haue I giuen this lande, from the riuer of Egypt vnto the great riuer, the riuer Euphrates.

On the day that he made Yahweh with Abram a covenant saying to offspring your I give the land this from [the] river of Egypt to the river great [the] river of Euphrates.

19 The Kenites, and the Kenizites, and the Kadmonites,

The Kenite[s] and the Kenizzite[s] and the Kadmonite[s].

20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

21 The Amorites also, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Iebusites.

And the Amorite[s] and the Canaanite[s] and the Girgashite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
