Genesis 15

1 After these things the word of YHWH has been to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I [am] a shield to you, your reward [is] exceedingly great.”

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 says, “Lord YHWH, what do You give to me, and I am going childless? And an acquired son in my house is Demmesek Eliezer.”

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 And Abram says, “Behold, to me You have not given seed, and behold, a servant will be my heir.”

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

4 And behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, saying, “This [one] will not be your heir; but he who comes out from your bowels, he will be your heir”;

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 and He brings him out outside and says, “Now look attentively toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them”; and He says to him, “Thus is your seed.”

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 he has believed in YHWH, and He reckons it to him—righteousness.

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

7 And He says to him, “I [am] YHWH who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to you this land to possess 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 says, “Lord YHWH, whereby do I know that I possess it?”

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

9 And He says to him, “Take for Me a heifer of three years, and a female goat of three years, and a ram of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a young bird”;

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 and he takes all these to Him, and separates them in the midst, and puts each piece opposite its fellow, but the bird he has not divided;

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 and the ravenous birds come down on the carcasses, and Abram causes them to turn back.

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

12 And the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep has fallen on Abram, and behold, a terror of great darkness is falling on 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 and He says to Abram, “knowing—know that your seed is a sojourner in a land not theirs, and they have served them, and they have afflicted them four hundred years,

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 and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go 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 and you come to your fathers in peace; you are buried in a good old age;

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

16 and the fourth generation turns back here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”

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

17 And it comes to pass—the sun has gone in, and thick darkness has been and behold, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of fire, which has passed over between 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 day has YHWH made with Abram a covenant, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, from the River of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River,

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.
