1. After these matters, the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not fear, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward."
2. Abram said, "Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, for I am going childless, and he—the son, the steward of my house—is Eliezer of Damascus."
3. Abram said, "Look, you have given me no offspring, and see, a son of my house is my heir."
4. Look, Yahweh's word came to him: "This one will not be your heir, but he who comes from your own body—he will be your heir."
5. He led him outside and said, "Gaze now toward the heavens and count the stars, if you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
6. He trusted in Yahweh, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
7. He said to him, “I am Yahweh who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess it.”
8. He said, "Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?"
9. He said to him, "Take for me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old she-goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."
10. He took all these, cut them in two through the middle, and set each piece opposite its fellow; but he did not divide the bird.
11. Birds of prey descended upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and behold, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13. He said to Abram, "Know this well: your offspring will be foreigners in a land not theirs, and they will serve them, and those people will oppress them four hundred years."
14. I will also judge that nation whom they serve, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.
15. You will go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried in a good old age.
16. In the fourth generation they will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.
17. When the sun went down and darkness fell, behold, a smoking furnace and a fiery torch passed between these pieces.
18. On that day Yahweh cut a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your offspring I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates."
