6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.(C)
7 He also said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out(D) of Ur of the Chaldeans(E) to give you this land to take possession of it.”(F)
8 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord,(G) how can I know(H) that I will gain possession of it?”(I)
9 So the Lord said to him, “Bring me a heifer,(J) a goat and a ram, each three years old,(K) along with a dove and a young pigeon.(L)”
10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other;(M) the birds, however, he did not cut in half.(N) 11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses,(O) but Abram drove them away.
