The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

And, behold, the word of the LORD {came} unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land {that is} not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. {a burning...: Heb. a lamp of fire}

And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites {is} not yet full.

And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
