15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and q to thy seed for ever.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

AFTER these things the word of

the LORD came unto Abram in a a vision, saying, bFear not, Abram: I am thy c shield, and thy exceeding d great reward.

2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go e 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 ƒ 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 gown bowels shall be thine heir.

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, h if thou be able to number them. And he said unto him, i So shall thy seel be.

6 And he believed in the LORD: and he k counted it to him for righteousness.

7 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee l'out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.

8 And he said, Lord GOD, m 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 ali these, and divided n them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but o the birds divided he not.

11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep p fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict g them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will Ir judge: and afterward shall they come out with great & substance.
