Genesis Chapter 15
1
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.
2
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?
3
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4
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.
5
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.
6
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7
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.
8
And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9
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.
10
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.
11
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
