8 But Abram sayde: LORDE LORDE, Wherby shall I knowe, that I shall possesse it?
9 And he sayde vnto him: Take a cow of thre yeare olde, and a she goate of thre yeare olde, and a ramme of thre yeare olde, and a turtyll doue, and a yonge pigeon.
10 And he toke all these, and deuyded them in the myddes, and layde the one parte ouer agaynst the other, but the foules deuyded he not.
11 And the foules fell vpo the flesh, but Abram droue them awaye.
12 Now whan the Sonne beganne to go downe, there fell an heuy slepe vpo Abram. And lo, feare and greate darcknes fell vpon him.
13 And he sayde vnto Abram: knowe this of a suertye, that thy sede shalbe a strauger, in a londe that is not theirs. And they shall make bonde men of them, and intreate them euell foure hundreth yeares.
14 But the people who they shal serue, wyl I iudge. Afterwarde shall they go forth with greate substaunce:
15 and thou shalt departe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
16 And after the fourth generacion they shall come hither agayne, for the wickednes of ye Amorites is not yet full.
17 So whan the Sonne was downe, and it was waxed darcke: Beholde, there smoked a fornace, and a fyre brande wente betwene ye partes.
