God’s Covenant with Abram(A)
15 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram (B)in a vision, saying, (C)“Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your (D)shield, [a]your exceedingly (E)great reward.”
2 (F)But Abram said, “Lord God, what will You give me, (G)seeing I [b]go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed (H)one[c] born in my house is my heir!”
4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who (I)will come from your own body shall be your heir.” 5 Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and (J)count the (K)stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, (L)“So shall your (M)descendants be.”
6 And he (N)believed in the Lord, and He (O)accounted it to him for righteousness.
7 Then He said to him, “I am the Lord, who (P)brought you out of (Q)Ur of the Chaldeans, (R)to give you this land to inherit it.”
8 And he said, “Lord God, (S)how shall I know that I will inherit it?”
9 So He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, a three-year-old female goat, a three-year-old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 Then he brought all these to Him and (T)cut them in two, down the middle, and placed each piece opposite the other; but he did not cut (U)the birds in two. 11 And when the vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12 Now when the sun was going down, (V)a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly (W)that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and (X)they will afflict them four hundred years. 14 And also the nation whom they serve (Y)I will judge; afterward (Z)they shall come out with great possessions. 15 Now as for you, (AA)you shall [d]go (AB)to your fathers in peace; (AC)you shall be buried at a good old age. 16 But (AD)in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity (AE)of the Amorites (AF)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 (AG)passed between those pieces. 18 On the same day the Lord (AH)made a covenant with Abram, saying:
(AI)“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.”

神应许亚伯兰之后裔多如众星
15 这事以后，耶和华在异象中有话对亚伯兰说：“亚伯兰，你不要惧怕！我是你的盾牌，必大大地赏赐你。” 2 亚伯兰说：“主耶和华啊，我既无子，你还赐我什么呢？并且要承受我家业的是大马士革人以利以谢。” 3 亚伯兰又说：“你没有给我儿子，那生在我家中的人就是我的后嗣。” 4 耶和华又有话对他说：“这人必不成为你的后嗣，你本身所生的才成为你的后嗣。” 5 于是领他走到外边，说：“你向天观看，数算众星，能数得过来吗？”又对他说：“你的后裔将要如此。” 6 亚伯兰信耶和华，耶和华就以此为他的义。 7 耶和华又对他说：“我是耶和华，曾领你出了迦勒底的吾珥，为要将这地赐你为业。” 8 亚伯兰说：“主耶和华啊，我怎能知道必得这地为业呢？” 9 他说：“你为我取一只三年的母牛，一只三年的母山羊，一只三年的公绵羊，一只斑鸠，一只雏鸽。” 10 亚伯兰就取了这些来，每样劈开分成两半，一半对着一半地摆列，只有鸟没有劈开。 11 有鸷鸟下来落在那死畜的肉上，亚伯兰就把它吓飞了。
12 日头正落的时候，亚伯兰沉沉地睡了，忽然有惊人的大黑暗落在他身上。 13 耶和华对亚伯兰说：“你要的确知道，你的后裔必寄居别人的地，又服侍那地的人，那地的人要苦待他们四百年。 14 并且他们所要服侍的那国，我要惩罚，后来他们必带着许多财物从那里出来。 15 但你要享大寿数，平平安安地归到你列祖那里，被人埋葬。 16 到了第四代，他们必回到此地，因为亚摩利人的罪孽还没有满盈。” 17 日落天黑，不料有冒烟的炉并烧着的火把从那些肉块中经过。 18 当那日，耶和华与亚伯兰立约，说：“我已赐给你的后裔，从埃及河直到伯拉大河之地， 19 就是基尼人、基尼洗人、甲摩尼人、 20 赫人、比利洗人、利乏音人、 21 亚摩利人、迦南人、革迦撒人、耶布斯人之地。”

Herren sluter förbund med Abram
15 Därefter kom Herrens ord till Abram i en syn. Han sade: ”Var inte rädd, Abram. Jag är din sköld. Din lön ska bli mycket stor.” 2 Men Abram sade: ”Herre Gud[a], vad ska du ge mig? Jag går ju bort barnlös[b], och arvinge till mitt hus är Elieser från Damaskus.” 3 Och Abram fortsatte: ”Se, mig har du inte gett någon avkomling. Så det blir en av mitt husfolk som ärver mig.”
4 (A) Men Herrens ord kom till honom: ”Det är inte han som ska ärva dig. En som kommer från din egen kropp ska bli din arvinge.” 5 (B) Sedan förde han honom ut och sade: ”Se upp mot himlen och räkna stjärnorna, om du kan räkna dem.” Och han sade till honom: ”Så ska din avkomma bli.”[c] 6 (C) Och Abram trodde på Herren, och han räknade honom det till rättfärdighet.[d]
7 Sedan sade han till honom: ”Jag är Herren, som har fört dig ut från det kaldeiska Ur för att ge dig detta land till arvedel.” 8 Han svarade: ”Herre Gud, hur ska jag veta att jag kommer att ärva det?” 9 Då sade han till honom: ”Hämta åt mig en treårig kviga, en treårig get, en treårig bagge, en turturduva och en ung duva.” 10 (D) Han hämtade alla dessa åt honom, styckade dem mitt itu och lade styckena mot varandra. Men fåglarna styckade han inte. 11 Rovfåglar slog sig ner på de döda kropparna, men Abram drev bort dem.
12 När solen höll på att gå ner föll en tung sömn över Abram. Då kom skräck och ett stort mörker över honom. 13 (E) Och Herren sade till Abram: ”Du ska veta att dina efterkommande ska bo som främlingar i ett land som inte är deras där man ska göra dem till slavar och förtrycka dem i fyrahundra år.[e] 14 (F) Men det folk som gör dem till slavar ska jag döma. Sedan ska de dra ut med stora ägodelar. 15 (G) Men du själv ska gå till dina fäder i frid och bli begravd vid hög ålder. 16 I fjärde släktledet ska de återvända hit, för amoreerna har ännu inte fyllt sina synders mått.”
17 (H) När solen hade gått ner och det blivit alldeles mörkt, syntes en rykande ugn med en brinnande fackla som gick fram mellan köttstyckena[f]. 18 (I) På den dagen slöt Herren ett förbund med Abram och sade: ”Åt dina efterkommande ska jag ge detta land, från Egyptens flod[g] ända till den stora floden, floden Eufrat: 19 keniternas, kenisiternas, kadmoneernas, 20 (J) hetiternas, perisseernas, rafaeernas, 21 amoreernas, kananeernas, girgasheernas och jebusiternas land.”

The Promise of an Heir
15 After these events the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision. He said, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.”
2 Abram said, “Lord God[a] what can you give me, since I remain childless, and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 Abram also said, “Look, you have given me no offspring, so a servant born in my house will be my heir.”
4 Just then, the word of the Lord came to him. God said, “This man will not be your heir, but instead one who will come out of your own body will be your heir.” 5 The Lord then brought him outside and said, “Now look toward the sky and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “This is what your descendants will be like.” 6 Abram believed in[b] the Lord, and the Lord credited it to him as righteousness. 7 He said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession.”
8 He said, “Lord God, how will I know that I will possess it?”
9 The Lord said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 Abram gathered all of these, divided them in half, and laid the two halves across from each other, but he did not divide the birds in two. 11 Birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Then terrifying, deep darkness fell on him. 13 The Lord said to Abram, “Know this! Your descendants will live as aliens in a land that is not theirs, and they will serve its people, who will afflict them for four hundred years. 14 But I will surely judge the nation that they will serve. Afterward your descendants will come out with great wealth, 15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age. 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come here again, because the guilt of the Amorites is not yet full.” 17 Then when the sun had gone down and it was dark, suddenly a smoking oven and a flaming torch passed between the pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made[c] a covenant with Abram. He said, “To your descendants I have given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates. 19 I will give you the territory of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, 20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaites, 21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

- Genesis 15:2 The translation follows the tradition of reading the Hebrew combination Adonai Yahweh (Lord Yahweh) as Lord God.
- Genesis 15:6 Or trusted in or believed
- Genesis 15:18 The Hebrew expression for make a covenant is literally cut a covenant. Perhaps this is a reflection of the cutting of the animals.

The Lord’s Covenant With Abram
15 After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram(A) in a vision:(B)
2 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord,(F) what can you give me since I remain childless(G) and the one who will inherit[c] my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?(H)” 3 And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant(I) in my household(J) will be my heir.”
4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.(K)” 5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars(L)—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring[d] be.”(M)
6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.(N)
7 He also said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out(O) of Ur of the Chaldeans(P) to give you this land to take possession of it.”(Q)
8 But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord,(R) how can I know(S) that I will gain possession of it?”(T)
9 So the Lord said to him, “Bring me a heifer,(U) a goat and a ram, each three years old,(V) along with a dove and a young pigeon.(W)”
10 Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other;(X) the birds, however, he did not cut in half.(Y) 11 Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses,(Z) but Abram drove them away.
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep,(AA) and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years(AB) your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved(AC) and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out(AD) with great possessions.(AE) 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors(AF) in peace and be buried at a good old age.(AG) 16 In the fourth generation(AH) your descendants will come back here,(AI) for the sin of the Amorites(AJ) has not yet reached its full measure.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch(AK) appeared and passed between the pieces.(AL) 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram(AM) and said, “To your descendants I give this land,(AN) from the Wadi[e] of Egypt(AO) to the great river, the Euphrates(AP)— 19 the land of the Kenites,(AQ) Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites,(AR) Perizzites,(AS) Rephaites,(AT) 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.”(AU)
