MKJV(i)
8 And he said, Lord God, by what shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 And He said to him, Take Me a 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.
10 And he took all these to himself, and divided them in the middle, and laid each piece against one another; but he did not divide the birds.
11 And when the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12 And it happened as the sun was setting, and a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And, behold, a horror of great darkness fell upon him!
13 And He said to Abram, You must surely know that your seed shall be a stranger in a land not theirs, and shall serve them. And they shall afflict them four hundred years.
14 And also I will judge that nation whom they shall serve. And afterward they shall come out with great substance.
15 And you shall go to your fathers in peace. You shall be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 And it happened, the sun went down, and it was dark and behold, a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp passed between those pieces.
