Prophecy of Affliction and Deliverance

12

As the sun was about to set, a deep sleep fell on Avram; horror and great darkness came over him.

13

ADONAI said to Avram, "Know this for certain: your descendants will be foreigners in a land that is not theirs. They will be slaves and held in oppression there four hundred years.

14

But I will also judge that nation, the one that makes them slaves. Afterwards, they will leave with many possessions.

15

As for you, you will join your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age.

16

Only in the fourth generation will your descendants come back here, because only then will the Emori be ripe for punishment."

17

After the sun had set and there was thick darkness, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch appeared, which passed between these animal parts.

18

That day ADONAI made a covenant with Avram: "I have given this land to your descendants - from the Vadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River -

19

the territory of the Keni, the K'nizi, the Kadmoni,

20

the Hitti, the P'rizi, the Refa'im,

21

the Emori, the Kena'ani, the Girgashi and the Y'vusi."
