(Romans 4:1–12; Hebrews 11:8–19)
1
After these things the word of YHWH has been to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not fear, Abram, I [am] a shield to you, your reward [is] exceedingly great.”
2
And Abram says, “Lord YHWH, what do You give to me, and I am going childless? And an acquired son in my house is Demmesek Eliezer.”
3
And Abram says, “Behold, to me You have not given seed, and behold, a servant will be my heir.”
4
And behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, saying, “This [one] will not be your heir; but he who comes out from your bowels, he will be your heir”;
5
and He brings him out outside and says, “Now look attentively toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them”; and He says to him, “Thus is your seed.”
6
And he has believed in YHWH, and He reckons it to himrighteousness.
7
And He says to him, “I [am] YHWH who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to you this land to possess it”;

8
and he says, “Lord YHWH, whereby do I know that I possess it?”
9
And He says to him, “Take for Me a heifer of three years, and a female goat of three years, and a ram of three years, and a turtle-dove, and a young bird”;
10
and he takes all these to Him, and separates them in the midst, and puts each piece opposite its fellow, but the bird he has not divided;
11
and the ravenous birds come down on the carcasses, and Abram causes them to turn back.
12
And the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep has fallen on Abram, and behold, a terror of great darkness is falling on him;
13
and He says to Abram, “knowingknow that your seed is a sojourner in a land not theirs, and they have served them, and they have afflicted them four hundred years,
14
and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after this they go out with great substance;
15
and you come to your fathers in peace; you are buried in a good old age;
16
and the fourth generation turns back here, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.”
17
And it comes to passthe sun has gone in, and thick darkness has been and behold, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of fire, which has passed over between those pieces.
18
In that day has YHWH made with Abram a covenant, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, from the River of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River,
19
with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
20
and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
21
and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.”
(Romans 4:1–12; Hebrews 11:8–19)
1
After these things the LORD’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
2
Abram said, “Lord (a) GOD, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
3
Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”
4
Behold, the LORD’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.”
5
The LORD brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.”
6
He believed in the LORD, who credited it to him for righteousness.
7
He said to Abram, “I am the LORD who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.”

8
He said, “Lord GOD, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
9
He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
10
He brought him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds.
11
The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12
When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
13
He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.
14
I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;
15
but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age.
16
In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
17
It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
18
In that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
19
the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20
the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
21
the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
