Chap. XV.
note
Abram doubting and lamenting that he should haue no childe, God promiseth
him much i&esset;ue, 6. who beleuing is iustified, 9. offereth Sacrifice prescribed
by God, 13. and is forwarned that his seede shal be in strange land
400. yeares. 14. shal be deliuered from seruitude 18. and po&esset;e&esset;e Chanaan.
1 VVhen these things therfore were done, the word
of our Lord was made to Abram by a vision saying:
Feare not Abram, I am thy protector, & thy reward exceding
great.
2 And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou geue
me? I shal goe without children: and the sonne of the stuard
of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.
3 And Abram
added: But to me thou hast not geuen seede: and loe my seruant
borne in my house, shal be myn heire.
4 And immediatly
the word of our Lord came to him saying: He shal not be
thy heyre: but he that shal come out of thy wombe, him shalt
thou haue thin heire.
5 And he brought him forth abroad,
and said to him: Looke vp to heauen, and number the starres,
if thou canst. And he said to him: So shal thy seed be.

Abram
6 Abram09Q0055 beleued God, and it was reputed to him vnto
iustice.
7 And he said to him: I am the Lord that brought
thee out from Vr of the Chaldees for to giue thee this land,
and that thou mightest possesse it.
8 But he said: Lord
God, how may I know that I shal possesse it?
9 And our
Lord answered, and said: note Take me a cowe of three yeares
old, and a shee goat of three yeares, and a ramme of three
yeares, a turtle also, and a pigeon.
10 Who taking al these, diuided
them by the mydes, and laid ech two peeces arowe
one against the other: but the birdes he diuided not.
11 And
the foules lighted vpon the carcasses, and Abram droue
them away.
12 And when the sunne was setting, a deepe
sleepe fel vpon Abram, and a great and darkesome horrour
inuaded him.
13 And it was said vnto him: Know and foreknow
that a pilgrime shal thy seede be in a land not their
owne (and they shal bring them vnder bondage, and afflict
them) note foure hundred yeares.
14 But the nation, whom they
shal serue, I wil iudge: and after this they shal goe forth
with great substance.
15 And thou shalt goe to thy fathers
in peace, buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation
they shal returne hither: for note as yet the iniquities of
the Amorrheanes are not at the ful vntil this present time.
17 Therfore when the sunne was set, there arose a darke
mist, and there appeared a fornace smoking, and a flake
of fire passing betwene those diuisions.
18 That day God
made a couenant with Abram, saying: To thy seede wil I
geue this land from the riuer of Ægypt euen to the great
riuer Euphrates,
19 the Cineans, & Cenezites, the Cedmonites,
20 and the Hethits, and the Pherezits, the Raphaims also,
21 and the Amorreans & the Cananites, and the Gargasites, and
the Iebusites.
