Gen 15:1-21 KJV –<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n1 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision<\/a><\/u>, saying<\/a> <\/u>, Fear not, Abram: I [am<\/i>] thy shield, [and<\/i>] thy exceeding great reward.
\n(Anthropopatheia<\/i> 893<\/a>; Catachresis<\/i><\/span> 674<\/a>)
\n
\n2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house [is<\/i>] this Eliezer of Damascus?
\n
\n3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir<\/u>.
\n(Metonymy<\/u><\/i> 583<\/a>)
\n
\n4 And, behold, the word of the LORD [came<\/i>] unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
\n
\n5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them<\/u>: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
\n(Par<\/u><\/i>\u0153<\/u><\/i><\/span>mia<\/u><\/i> 758<\/a>)
\n
\n6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. (Heterosis<\/i> 534<\/a>)
\n
\n7 And he said unto him, I [am<\/i>] the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
\n
\n8 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
\n
\n9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
\n
\n10 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.
\n
\n11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
\n
\n12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
\n
\n13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger<\/u> in a land [that is<\/i>] not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
\n(Epitrechon<\/u><\/i> 472<\/a>; Metonymy<\/u><\/i> 560<\/a>)
\n
\n14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge<\/u>: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
\n(Metonymy<\/u><\/i> 557<\/a>)
\n
\n15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers<\/u> in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
\n(Euphemismos<\/u><\/i> 685<\/a>)
\n
\n16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is<\/i>] not yet full.
\n
\n17 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.
\n
\n18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed<\/u> have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
\n(Synecdoche<\/u><\/i> 649<\/a>; Anthropopatheia<\/i> 888<\/a>)
\n
\n19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
\n
\n20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
\n
\n21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
