¹³ Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly ^(A)that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and ^(B)they will afflict them four hundred years. ¹⁴ And also the nation whom they serve ^(C)I will judge; afterward ^(D)they shall come out with great possessions. ¹⁵ Now as for you, ^(E)you shall ^[a]go ^(F)to your fathers in peace; ^(G)you shall be buried at a good old age. ¹⁶ But ^(H)in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity ^(I)of the Amorites ^(J)is not yet complete.”

¹⁷ And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that ^(K)passed between those pieces. ¹⁸ On the same day the Lord ^(L)made a covenant with Abram, saying:

^(M)“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— ¹⁹ the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, ²⁰ the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, ²¹ the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
