¶ The .xv. Chapter.
¶ The lande of Canaan is yet agayne promysed to
Abram. God promyseth hym seed. He beleueth ∧ is
iustifyed. The prophecye of the bondage wher in the
chyldren of Israel shulde be vnder Pharao: and of
their delyuerance from the same.
A After these thynges were done,
the worde of the Lorde came vnto
Abram in a vysyon sayinge,
Feare not Abram, I am thy defence,
and thy rewarde shall be
exceadynge great. And Abram sayde: Lorde
God what wilt thou geue me whan I go
chyldlesse, and the &rhand; chylde of the stewardship
of my house is thys Eleazar of Damasco?
And Abram sayde: Se, to me hast thou
geuen no seed: lo, a lad borne in my house is
myne heyre.
And beholde, the worde of the Lorde came
vnto hym sayinge: He shall not be thyne
heyre, but one that shall come out of thyne
awne body shalbe thyne heyre.
B And he
brought him out ∧ sayde: loke vp vnto heauen,
and tell the note starres, yf thou be able to
nombre them. And he sayde vnto him note Eu&ebar;
so shall thy seed be.
And Abram note beleued the Lorde, and that
counted he to hym for ryghtewesnes. And
agayne he sayde vnto hym: I am the Lorde
that brought the out of Ur of the Caldees
to geue the thys lande, and that thou myghtest
possesse it.
And he sayde: Lorde God, wherby shall
I knowe that I shall possesse it? He answered
vnto hym: Take an heyffer of thre yere
olde, and a she goate of thre yere olde, and a
thre yere olde ram, a turtyll doue also and a
yonge pigeon. He toke therfore all these vnto
him, ∧ deuyded them in the myddes, and
layde euery pece, one agaynst another. But
the foules deuyded he not.
C And whan þe; byrdes
fell on the carcases, Abram droue them
awaye. And when the sunne was downe,
ther fell a slomber vpon Abram. And loo, a
darke and great feare fell vpon hym.
And he sayde vnto Abram: knowe thys
of a suertye, that thy note seed shalbe a straunger
in a l&abar;de that perteyneth not vnto them.
And shall serue th&ebar;, ∧ they shall entreate th&ebar;
euell note .iiij. hundred yeares. But the nacyon
whom they shall serue, wyll I iudge. And
afterwarde shall they come out with great
substaunce. And thou shalt goo vnto thy fathers
in peace, and shalt be buryed in a good
olde age: But in the fourth generacyon they
shall come hyther againe, for the wickednesse
of the Amorites ys not yet full.

Abram
D And it came to passe that whan the sonne
went downe, there was a dark cloude: beholde,
ther was a smoking furnesse, ∧ a fyre
brande goinge &rhand; betwene the sayde peces.
In that same daye the Lorde made a couenaunte
&wt; Abram sayinge: vnto thy note seed
haue I geuen thys lande, from the ryuer of
Egypt, euen vnto the great ryuer the ryuer
of Euphrates, the kenytes, the kenyzites,
and the Cadmonites, the Hethites, and the
Pherezites, and the gyauntes, the Amorytes
also, ∧ the Canaanites, the Gergesytes
and the Iebusytes.
