01:014:022 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand
unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and
earth,
01:014:023 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and
that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou
shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
01:014:024 Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion
of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let
them take their portion.
01:015:001 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a
vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy
exceeding great reward.
01:015:002 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go
childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of
Damascus?
01:015:003 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and,
lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
01:015:004 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 own bowels shall be thine heir.
01:015:005 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward
heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them:
and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
01:015:006 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
righteousness.
01:015:007 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of
Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
01:015:008 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall
inherit it?
01:015:009 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.
01:015:010 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst,
and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided
he not.
01:015:011 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove
them away.
01:015:012 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram;
and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
01:015:013 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall
be a stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve
them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
01:015:014 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and
afterward shall they come out with great substance.
01:015:015 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be
buried in a good old age.
01:015:016 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for
the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
