And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.

And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.

And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.

But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

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.

When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the carcasses.

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:

On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land—from the river of Egypt to the great River Euphrates—

The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,

And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,

And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
