| [1]After these thynges, the worde of the Lorde came vnto Abram in a vision, saying: feare not Abram I am thy shielde [and] thy exceedyng great rewarde |
[1]After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. |
| [2]And Abram sayde: Lorde God what wylt thou geue me when I go chyldelesse, the chylde of the stewardship of my house is this Eleazer of Damasco |
[2]And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? |
| [3]And Abram saide: See, to me thou hast geuen no seede: lo [borne] in my house is myne heire |
[3]And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. |
| [4]And beholde, the worde of the Lorde came vnto hym, saying, he shall not be thine heire: but one that shall come out of thine own bowels shalbe thine heire |
[4]And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. |
| [5]And he brought hym out, and sayde: loke vp vnto heauen, and tell the starres, if thou be able to number them. And he sayde vnto hym: euen so shall thy seede be |
[5]And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. |
| [6]And [Abram] beleued the Lord, & that counted he to hym for righteousnesse |
[6]And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. |
| [7]And agayne he saide vnto him: I am the Lorde that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to geue thee this lande, & that thou myghtest inherite it |
[7]And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it. |
| [8]And he sayde: Lorde God wherby shall I knowe that I shall inherite it |
[8]And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? |
| [9]He aunswered vnto hym: Take an Heyfer of three yere olde, & a she Goate of three yere olde, and a three yere olde Ramme, a turtle Doue also, & a young Pigeon |
[9]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. |
| [10]He toke therefore all these vnto hym, and deuided them in the middes, and layde euery peece one ouer agaynst another: but the birdes deuided he not |
[10]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. |
| [11]And when the foules fell on the carkases, Abram droue them away |
[11]And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away. |
| [12]And whe the sunne was downe, there fell a deepe sleepe vpon Abram: and lo, an horrour of great darknesse fell vpon hym |
[12]And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. |
| [13]And he sayde vnto Abram: Knowe this of a suertie, that thy seede shalbe a straunger in a lande that is not theirs, and shall serue them, and they shall entreate them euyll foure hundreth yeres |
[13]And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; |
| [14]But the nation whom they shall serue wyll I iudge: and afterward shall they come out with great substaunce |
[14]And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. |
| [15]And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good olde age |
[15]And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. |
| [16]But in the fourth generation they shal come hyther agayne: for the wickednesse of the Amorites is not yet full |
[16]But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. |
| [17]And so it was, that when the sonne went downe, and it was twylyght, beholde a smokyng furnesse and a fire brande goyng betweene the said peeces |
[17]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. |
| [18]In that same day the Lorde made a couenaunt with Abram, saying: vnto thy seede haue I geuen this lande, fro the ryuer of Egypt, euen vnto the great ryuer, the ryuer of Euphrates |
[18]In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: |
| [19]The Kenites and the Kenizites, and the Cadmonites |
[19]The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, |
| [20]And the Hethites, and the Perizites, and the Giauntes |
[20]And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, |
| [21]The Amorites also, and the Chanaanites, and Girgasites, & the Iebusites |
[21]And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites. |
