1 After these events, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." | IP | C | TOSK |
2 But Abram replied, "O Lord GOD, what can You give me, since I remain childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" | IP | C | TOSK |
3 Abram continued, "Behold, You have given me no offspring, so a servant in my household will be my heir." | IP | C | TOSK |
4 Then the word of the LORD came to Abram, saying, "This one will not be your heir, but one who comes from your own body will be your heir." | IP | C | TOSK |
5 And the LORD took him outside and said, "Now look to the heavens and count the stars, if you are able." Then He told him, "So shall your offspring be." | IP | C | TOSK |

7 The LORD also told him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess." | IP¹ | IP² | C | TOSK |
8 But Abram replied, "Lord GOD, how can I know that I will possess it?" | C | TOSK |
9 And the LORD said to him, "Bring Me a heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, along with a turtledove and a young pigeon." | C | TOSK |
10 So Abram brought all these to Him, split each of them down the middle, and laid the halves opposite each other. The birds, however, he did not cut in half. | C | TOSK |
11 And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away. | C | TOSK |
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him. | C | TOSK |
13 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. | IP | C | TOSK |
14 But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions. | IP | C | TOSK |
