WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.120 Chapter 15 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, 00:06.620 --> 00:07.920 saying, Fear not, Abram. 00:08.640 --> 00:12.740 I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. 00:13.240 --> 00:17.820 And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, 00:17.900 --> 00:22.060 and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 00:22.180 --> 00:28.220 And Abram said, Behold to me thou hast given no seed, and, lo, one born in my 00:28.220 --> 00:29.540 house is mine heir. 00:29.540 --> 00:35.260 And behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir, 00:35.920 --> 00:39.880 but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. 00:40.100 --> 00:43.860 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, 00:44.140 --> 00:47.660 and tell the stars if thou be able to number them. 00:48.040 --> 00:51.040 And he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 00:51.460 --> 00:55.340 And he believed in the Lord, and he counted it to him for righteousness. 00:55.940 --> 01:00.560 And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, 01:00.760 --> 01:03.380 to give thee this land to inherit it. 01:03.580 --> 01:08.580 And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? 01:09.040 --> 01:14.580 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she-goat of three 01:14.580 --> 01:20.280 years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. 01:20.820 --> 01:24.020 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, 01:24.020 --> 01:28.560 and laid each piece one against another, but the birds divided he not. 01:29.160 --> 01:33.060 And when the fowls came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away. 01:33.520 --> 01:37.680 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and, 01:37.900 --> 01:41.040 lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. 01:41.600 --> 01:46.340 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a 01:46.340 --> 01:51.800 land that is not theirs, and shall serve them, and they shall afflict them four 01:51.800 --> 01:52.480 hundred years. 01:53.260 --> 02:00.160 And also that nation whom they shall serve will I judge, and afterward shall they 02:00.160 --> 02:01.960 come out with great substance. 02:02.720 --> 02:08.640 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 02:09.380 --> 02:15.480 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again, for the iniquity of the 02:15.480 --> 02:17.180 Amorites is not yet full. 02:17.360 --> 02:21.580 And it came to pass that when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, 02:21.940 --> 02:25.720 a smoking furnace and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. 02:26.360 --> 02:31.280 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I 02:31.280 --> 02:37.260 given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates, 02:38.240 --> 02:44.000 the Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, and the Hittites, 02:44.280 --> 02:50.380 and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, 02:50.720 --> 02:53.920 and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
