01:014:023 That I will not take from a thread even
to a shoelatchet, and
that
I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou
shouldest
say, I have made Abram rich:
01:014:024 Save only that which the young men have
eaten, and the portion
of
the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre;
let
them
take their portion.
01:015:001 After these things the word of the lord
came unto Abram in a
vision,
saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and
thy
exceeding
great reward.
01:015:002 And Abram said, lord God, what wilt
thou give me, seeing I go
childless,
and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of
Damascus?
01:015:003 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast
given no seed: and,
lo,
one born in my house is mine heir.
01:015:004 And, behold, the word of the lord
came unto him, saying, This
shall
not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out
of
thine
own bowels shall be thine heir.
01:015:005 And he brought him forth abroad, and said,
Look now toward
heaven,
and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them:
and
he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
01:015:006 And he believed in the lord; and he
counted it to him for
righteousness.
01:015:007 And he said unto him, I am the lord
that brought thee out of
Ur
of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit
it.
01:015:008 And he said, lord God, whereby shall
I know that I shall
inherit
it?
01:015:009 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer
of three years old,
and
a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years
old,
and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
01:015:010 And he took unto him all these, and divided
them in the midst,
and
laid each piece one against another: but the birds
divided
he
not.
01:015:011 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases,
Abram drove
them
away.
01:015:012 And when the sun was going down, a deep
sleep fell upon Abram;
and,
lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
01:015:013 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety
that thy seed shall
be
a stranger in a land that is not their’s, and
shall serve
them;
and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
01:015:014 And also that nation, whom they shall serve,
will I judge: and
afterward
shall they come out with great substance.
01:015:015 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace;
thou shalt be
buried
in a good old age.
01:015:016 But in the fourth generation they shall
come hither again: for
the
iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
