9 Then he said vnto him, Take me an heifer of three yeeres olde, and a shee goate of three yeeres olde, and a ramme of three yeeres olde, a turtle doue also and a pigeon.
10 So he tooke all these vnto him, and deuided them into the middes, and laid euery piece one against an other: but the birdes deuided he not.
11 Then foules fell on the carkases, and Abram droue them away.
12 And when the sunne went downe, there fell an heauie sleepe vpon Abram: and loe, a very fearefull darkenes fell vpon him.
13 Then he saide to Abram, Knowe for a suretie, that thy seede shalbe a stranger in a land, that is not theirs, foure hundreth yeeres, and shall serue them: and they shall intreate them euill.
14 Notwithstanding the nation, whom they shall serue, will I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 But thou shalt goe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
16 And in the fourth generation they shall come hither againe: for the wickednes of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 Also when the sunne went downe, there was a darkenes: and behold, a smoking fornace, and a firebrand, which went betweene those pieces.
