¹² Now when the sun was going down, ^(A)a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. ¹³ Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly ^(B)that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and ^(C)they will afflict them four hundred years. ¹⁴ And also the nation whom they serve ^(D)I will judge; afterward ^(E)they shall come out with great possessions. ¹⁵ Now as for you, ^(F)you shall ^[a]go ^(G)to your fathers in peace; ^(H)you shall be buried at a good old age. ¹⁶ But ^(I)in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity ^(J)of the Amorites ^(K)is not yet complete.”

^29 (A)I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. ³⁰ Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. ³¹ And ^(B)I will set your ^[a]bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the ^[b]River. For I will ^(C)deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you.
