JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ After these words, the word of Jehovah was to Abram in a vision, saying, Thou shalt not fear, Abram: I a shield to thee, thy reward great exceedingly. ² And Abram will say, My Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give to me, and I going childless, and the son of Masek in my house, he Eliezer of Damascus? ³ And Abram will say, Behold, to me thou gavest no seed, and behold the son of my house shall inherit me. ⁴ And behold, the word of Jehovah was to him, saying, This shall not inherit thee, for truly he who shall come forth from thy bowels shall inherit thee. ⁵ And he will bring him forth without, and will say, Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if thou shalt be able to count them: and he will say to him, So shall be thy seed. ⁶ And he believed in Jehovah; and it shall be reckoned to him justice. ⁷ And he will say to him, I am Jehovah who brought thee from Ur of the Chaldees to give thee this land to inherit it. ⁸ And he will say, My Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall inherit it? ⁹ And he will say to him, Take to me a heifer of three, and a goat of three, and a ram of three, and a turtle dove, and a young pigeon. ¹⁰ And he will take to him all these, and he will divide them, asunder in the midst, and will put each of its parts divided, opposite its companion: and the birds he divided not ¹¹ And the birds will come down upon the dead carcases, and Abram will drive them together. ¹² And the sun shall be going down, and a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and behold terror and great darkness fell upon him. ¹³ And he will say to Abram, Knowing thou shalt know that thy seed shall be a sojourner in the land not to them; and they shall serve them and they shall humble them four hundred years. ¹⁴ And also the nation whom they shall serve, I will judge, and after this they shall come forth with great substance. ¹⁵ And thou shalt go to thy fathers in tranquillity; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. ¹⁶ And the fourth generation they shall turn back hither: for the crime of the Amorite has not been completed till now. ¹⁷ And the sun shall be going down, and it was thick darkness, and behold a furnace of smoke and a lamp of fire that passed over between these pieces. ¹⁸ In that day Jehovah cut out a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed gave I this land from the river of Egypt, to the great river, the river Euphrates: ¹⁹ The Kenites and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites; ²⁰ The Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims; ²¹ And the Amorites and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
