View In My Bible
13
Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know of a surety that your descendants will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and will be slaves there, and they will be oppressed for four hundred years;
14
but I will bring judgment on the nation which they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
15
As for yourself, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
16
And they shall come back here in the fourth generation; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete."
17
When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
18
On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphra'tes,
19
the land of the Ken'ites, the Ken'izzites, the Kad'monites,
20
the Hittites, the Per'izzites, the Reph'aim,
21
the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Gir'gashites and the Jeb'usites."
