Genesis 15

KJV

1  After310 these428 things1697 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came1961 unto413 Abram87 in a vision,4236 saying,559 Fear3372 not,408 Abram:87 I595 am thy shield,4043 and thy exceeding3966 great7235 reward.7939

2  And Abram87 said,559 Lord136 GOD,3069 what4100 wilt thou give5414 me, seeing I595 go1980 childless,6185 and the steward1121 4943 of my house1004 is this1931 Eliezer461 of Damascus?1834

3  And Abram87 said,559 Behold,2005 to me thou hast given5414 no3808 seed:2233 and, lo,2009 one born1121 in my house1004 is mine heir.3423

4  And, behold,2009 the word1697 of the LORD3068 came unto413 him, saying,559 This2088 shall not3808 be thine heir;3423 but3588 518 he that834 shall come forth3318 out of thine own bowels4480 4578 shall be thine heir.3423

5  And he brought him forth3318 853 abroad,2351 and said,559 Look5027 now4994 toward heaven,8064 and tell5608 the stars,3556 if518 thou be able3201 to number5608 them: and he said559 unto him, So3541 shall thy seed2233 be.1961

6  And he believed539 in the LORD;3068 and he counted2803 it to him for righteousness.6666

7  And he said559 unto413 him, I589 am the LORD3068 that834 brought3318 thee out of Ur4480 218 of the Chaldees,3778 to give5414 thee 853 this2063 land776 to inherit3423 it.

8  And he said,559 Lord136 GOD,3069 whereby4100 shall I know3045 that3588 I shall inherit3423 it?

9  And he said559 unto413 him, Take3947 me an heifer5697 of three years old,8027 and a she goat5795 of three years old,8027 and a ram352 of three years old,8027 and a turtledove,8449 and a young pigeon.1469

10  And he took3947 unto him 853 all3605 these,428 and divided1334 them in the midst,8432 and laid5414 each376 piece1335 one against7125 another:7453 but the birds6833 divided1334 he not.3808

11  And when the fowls5861 came down3381 upon5921 the carcasses,6297 Abram87 drove them away.5380 853

12  And when the sun8121 was going down,935 a deep sleep8639 fell5307 upon5921 Abram;87 and, lo,2009 a horror367 of great1419 darkness2825 fell5307 upon5921 him.

13  And he said559 unto Abram,87 Know of a surety3045 3045 that3588 thy seed2233 shall be1961 a stranger1616 in a land776 that is not3808 theirs, and shall serve5647 them; and they shall afflict6031 them four702 hundred3967 years;8141

14  And also1571 853 that nation,1471 whom834 they shall serve,5647 will I595 judge:1777 and afterward310 3651 shall they come out3318 with great1419 substance.7399

15  And thou859 shalt go935 to413 thy fathers1 in peace;7965 thou shalt be buried6912 in a good2896 old age.7872

16  But in the fourth7243 generation1755 they shall come hither again:7725 2008 for3588 the iniquity5771 of the Amorites567 is not3808 yet5704 2008 full.8003

17  And it came to pass,1961 that, when the sun8121 went down,935 and it was1961 dark,5939 behold2009 a smoking6227 furnace,8574 and a burning784 lamp3940 that834 passed5674 between996 those428 pieces.1506

18  In the same1931 day3117 the LORD3068 made3772 a covenant1285 with854 Abram,87 saying,559 Unto thy seed2233 have I given5414 this2063 853 land,776 from the river4480 5104 of Egypt4714 unto5704 the great1419 river,5104 the river5104 Euphrates:6578

19  853 The Kenites,7017 and the Kenizzites,7074 and the Kadmonites,6935

20  And the Hittites,2850 and the Perizzites,6522 and the Rephaims,7497

21  And the Amorites,567 and the Canaanites,3669 and the Girgashites,1622 and the Jebusites.2983

1 μετὰ δὲ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα ἐγενήθη ῥῆμα κυρίου πρὸς Αβραμ ἐν ὁράματι λέγων μὴ φοβοῦ Αβραμ ἐγὼ ὑπερασπίζω σου ὁ μισθός σου πολὺς ἔσται σφόδρα

2 λέγει δὲ Αβραμ δέσποτα τί μοι δώσεις ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπολύομαι ἄτεκνος ὁ δὲ υἱὸς Μασεκ τῆς οἰκογενοῦς μου οὗτος Δαμασκὸς Ελιεζερ

3 καὶ εἶπεν Αβραμ ἐπειδὴ ἐμοὶ οὐκ ἔδωκας σπέρμα ὁ δὲ οἰκογενής μου κληρονομήσει με

4 καὶ εὐθὺς φωνὴ κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων οὐ κληρονομήσει σε οὗτος ἀλλ᾽ ὃς ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ σοῦ οὗτος κληρονομήσει σε

5 ἐξήγαγεν δὲ αὐτὸν ἔξω καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἀνάβλεψον δὴ εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἀρίθμησον τοὺς ἀστέρας εἰ δυνήσῃ ἐξαριθμῆσαι αὐτούς καὶ εἶπεν οὕτως ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου

6 καὶ ἐπίστευσεν Αβραμ τῷ θεῷ καὶ ἐλογίσθη αὐτῷ εἰς δικαιοσύνην

7 εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτόν ἐγὼ ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἐξαγαγών σε ἐκ χώρας Χαλδαίων ὥστε δοῦναί σοι τὴν γῆν ταύτην κληρονομῆσαι

8 εἶπεν δέ δέσποτα κύριε κατὰ τί γνώσομαι ὅτι κληρονομήσω αὐτήν

9 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ λαβέ μοι δάμαλιν τριετίζουσαν καὶ αἶγα τριετίζουσαν καὶ κριὸν τριετίζοντα καὶ τρυγόνα καὶ περιστεράν

10 ἔλαβεν δὲ αὐτῷ πάντα ταῦτα καὶ διεῖλεν αὐτὰ μέσα καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτὰ ἀντιπρόσωπα ἀλλήλοις τὰ δὲ ὄρνεα οὐ διεῖλεν

11 κατέβη δὲ ὄρνεα ἐπὶ τὰ σώματα τὰ διχοτομήματα αὐτῶν καὶ συνεκάθισεν αὐτοῖς Αβραμ

12 περὶ δὲ ἡλίου δυσμὰς ἔκστασις ἐπέπεσεν τῷ Αβραμ καὶ ἰδοὺ φόβος σκοτεινὸς μέγας ἐπιπίπτει αὐτῷ

13 καὶ ἐρρέθη πρὸς Αβραμ γινώσκων γνώσῃ ὅτι πάροικον ἔσται τὸ σπέρμα σου ἐν γῇ οὐκ ἰδίᾳ καὶ δουλώσουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ κακώσουσιν αὐτοὺς καὶ ταπεινώσουσιν αὐτοὺς τετρακόσια ἔτη

14 τὸ δὲ ἔθνος ᾧ ἐὰν δουλεύσωσιν κρινῶ ἐγώ μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα ἐξελεύσονται ὧδε μετὰ ἀποσκευῆς πολλῆς

15 σὺ δὲ ἀπελεύσῃ πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας σου μετ᾽ εἰρήνης ταφεὶς ἐν γήρει καλῷ

16 τετάρτη δὲ γενεὰ ἀποστραφήσονται ὧδε οὔπω γὰρ ἀναπεπλήρωνται αἱ ἁμαρτίαι τῶν Αμορραίων ἕως τοῦ νῦν

17 ἐπεὶ δὲ ἐγίνετο ὁ ἥλιος πρὸς δυσμαῖς φλὸξ ἐγένετο καὶ ἰδοὺ κλίβανος καπνιζόμενος καὶ λαμπάδες πυρός αἳ διῆλθον ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν διχοτομημάτων τούτων

18 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ διέθετο κύριος τῷ Αβραμ διαθήκην λέγων τῷ σπέρματί σου δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἀπὸ τοῦ ποταμοῦ Αἰγύπτου ἕως τοῦ ποταμοῦ τοῦ μεγάλου ποταμοῦ Εὐφράτου

19 τοὺς Καιναίους καὶ τοὺς Κενεζαίους καὶ τοὺς Κεδμωναίους

20 καὶ τοὺς Χετταίους καὶ τοὺς Φερεζαίους καὶ τοὺς Ραφαϊν

1 His itaque transactis, factus est sermo Domini ad Abram per visionem dicens: Noli timere, Abram: ego protector tuus sum, et merces tua magna nimis.

2 Dixitque Abram: Domine Deus, quid dabis mihi? ego vadam absque liberis, et filius procuratoris domus meæ iste Damascus Eliezer.

3 Addiditque Abram: Mihi autem non dedisti semen, et ecce vernaculus meus, hæres meus erit.

4 Statimque sermo Domini factus est ad eum, dicens: Non erit hic hæres tuus, sed qui egredietur de utero tuo, ipsum habebis hæredem.

5 Eduxitque eum foras, et ait illi: Suscipe cælum, et numera stellas, si potes. Et dixit ei: Sic erit semen tuum.

6 Credidit Abram Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam.

7 Dixitque ad eum: Ego Dominus qui eduxi te de Ur Chaldæorum ut darem tibi terram istam, et possideres eam.

8 At ille ait: Domine Deus, unde scire possum quod possessurus sim eam?

9 Et respondens Dominus: Sume, inquit, mihi vaccam triennem, et capram trimam, et arietem annorum trium, turturem quoque et columbam.

10 Qui tollens universa hæc, divisit ea per medium, et utrasque partes contra se altrinsecus posuit; aves autem non divisit.

11 Descenderuntque volucres super cadavera, et abigebat eas Abram.

12 Cumque sol occumberet, sopor irruit super Abram, et horror magnus et tenebrosus invasit eum.

13 Dictumque est ad eum: Scito prænoscens quod peregrinum futurum sit semen tuum in terra non sua, et subjicient eos servituti, et affligent quadringentis annis.

14 Verumtamen gentem, cui servituri sunt, ego judicabo: et post hæc egredientur cum magna substantia.

15 Tu autem ibis ad patres tuos in pace, sepultus in senectute bona.

16 Generatione autem quarta revertentur huc: necdum enim completæ sunt iniquitates Amorrhæorum usque ad præsens tempus.

17 Cum ergo occubuisset sol, facta est caligo tenebrosa, et apparuit clibanus fumans, et lampas ignis transiens inter divisiones illas.

18 In illo die pepigit Dominus fœdus cum Abram, dicens: Semini tuo dabo terram hanc a fluvio Ægypti usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten,

19 Cinæos, et Cenezæos, Cedmonæos,

20 et Hethæos, et Pherezæos, Raphaim quoque,

21 et Amorrhæos, et Chananæos, et Gergesæos, et Jebusæos.
