Genesis 15

1 Some time later, Abram had a vision in which Yahweh spoke to him and said, “Do not be afraid of (anything/your enemies). I will protect you [MTY], and I will give a 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 But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can you give me what I truly want, because I have no children, and the one who will be like a son and inherit all my possessions is my servant Eliezer from 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 Abram added, “You have not given me any children, so think about this: A servant in my household will inherit all I own!”

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

4 Yahweh replied, “No! He will not be the one who will inherit it. Instead, you yourself will be the father of the one who will inherit everything you own.”

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 Then Yahweh took Abram outside [of his tent] and said, “Look up at the sky! Can you count the stars? No, you cannot count them because there are so many of them, and your descendants will be as numerous as the stars.”

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 Abram believed that what Yahweh said would happen. And because of that, Yahweh considered that Abram was righteous.

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

7 Yahweh also said to him, “I am Yahweh. I am the one who brought you from Ur in Chaldea land. I brought you here to give you this land to possess.”

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 But Abram replied, “Yahweh God, how can I know for sure that this land will belong to me?”

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

9 God said to him, “Bring a three-year-old heifer and a three-year-old goat to me, and a dove 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 Abram brought all of them and killed them and cut each of the animals in half. He arranged the halves of each one, side by side. But he did not cut the pigeon and dove in half.

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 Birds that eat dead flesh came down to eat the carcasses, but Abram shooed them away.

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

12 As the sun was going down, Abram fell sound asleep, and suddenly everything around him became dark and frightening.

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 God said to Abram, “I want you to know that your descendants will become foreigners living in a land that does not belong to them. They will become slaves of the owners of that land. The owners of the land will mistreat them for 400 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 But then I will punish the people of that country that made them become slaves, and then your descendants will leave that country, taking many possessions with them.

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 as for you, you will die [EUP] peacefully when you are very old.

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

16 After your descendants have been slaves for 400 years, they will return here, and take control of this land and defeat the Amor people-group. Those people will, because those people have not yet sinned enough to deserve to be punished now.”

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

17 When the sun had set and it had become dark, [unexpectedly] a blazing torch and a clay pot containing burning coals from which smoke was rising appeared and went between the halves of the animals.

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 And on that day Yahweh made an agreement with Abram. Yahweh told him, “I will give to your descendants all the land between the river that is on the eastern border of Egypt to the south, and north to the huge 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.

19 That is the land where the Ken, the Keniz, the Kidmon,

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

20 the Heth, the Periz, the Repha,

And the Hittite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Rephaites.

21 the Amor, the Canaan, the Girgash, and the Tebus people-groups live.”

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