1 After all this had happened, God spoke to Abram in a vision, telling him, “Don't be afraid, Abram! I am your protector, and your truly great reward!”
1 After these things Yahweh’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Don’t be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”
2 But Abram replied, “Lord God, what good is whatever you give me? I don't have any children, and the heir to all that I have is Eliezer of Damascus.”
2 Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
3 Abram went on to complain, “Look! You haven't given me any children, so a servant from my household has to be my heir!”
3 Abram said, “Behold, you have given no children to me: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir.”
4 But then the Lord told him, “This man won't be your heir. Your heir will be your very own son.”
4 Behold, Yahweh’s word came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir, but he who will come out of your own body will be your heir.”
5 The Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up at the sky. See if you can count the stars! That's how many descendants you will have!”
5 Yahweh brought him outside, and said, “Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He said to Abram, “So your offspring will be.”
6 Abram trusted what the Lord said, and so the Lord counted Abram as being in a right relationship with him.
6 He believed in Yahweh, who credited it to him for righteousness.
7 The Lord also told him, “I am the Lord, who led you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land for you to own.”
7 He said to Abram, “I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.”
8 “But Lord God, how can I be certain that I will own it?” Abram asked.
8 He said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?”
9 The Lord told him, “Bring me a cow, a goat, and a ram, all of them three years old, together with a dove and a young pigeon.”
9 He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
10 So Abram took and killed the three animals. Then he cut them in half, and placed each half opposite the other. However, he didn't cut the birds in half.
10 He brought him all these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn’t divide the birds.
11 When vultures flew down on the carcasses, Abram frightened them off.
11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
12 As the sun went down, a deep sleep came over Abram, and at the same time a dense and terrifying darkness fell on him.
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.
13 The Lord explained to Abram, “You can be absolutely sure that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land, where they will be slaves and mistreated for 400 years.
13 He said to Abram, “Know for sure that your offspring will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.
14 However, I will punish the nation that makes them slaves, and later on they will leave, taking many valuable possessions with them.
14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth;
15 But as for you, you will die in peace and be buried, having lived a good long life.
15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried at a good old age.
16 Four generations later your descendants will come back here to live, because right now the sins of the Amorites have not reached their full extent.”
16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.”
17 After the sun set and it grew dark, suddenly a smoking furnace and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the animal carcasses.
17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.
18 This is how the Lord made an agreement with Abram that day and promised him, “I'm giving this land to your descendants. It extends from the Wadi of Egypt to the great Euphrates River,
18 In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, “I have given this land to your offspring, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:
19 and includes the territory of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

For Matthew the apostle-- knowing, as one and the same God, Him who had given promise to Abraham, that He would make his seed as the stars of heaven, and Him who, by His Son Christ Jesus, has called us to the knowledge of Himself, from the worship of stones, so that those who were not a people were made …
Here, indeed, is set down that sentence which the apostle quotes in order to commend the grace of God, "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness;" lest the circumcision should glory, and be unwilling to receive the uncircumcised nations to the faith of Christ.
