¹²As the sun was going down, a pdeep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him. ¹³Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain qthat your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and rthey will be afflicted for sfour hundred years. ¹⁴But tI will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward uthey shall come out with great possessions. ¹⁵As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; vyou shall be buried in a good old age. ¹⁶And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for wthe iniquity of the Amorites xis not yet complete.”

¹⁷When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. ¹⁸On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, y“To your offspring I give3 this land, from zthe river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, ¹⁹the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, ²⁰the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, ²¹the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”
