| |
| | Gen 15:3 | And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
| |

| |
| | Gen 15:9 | And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

| | Gen 15:13 | And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
| |
| | Gen 15:14 | And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
| |

| |
| | Gen 15:20 | And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaim,
| |
| | Gen 15:21 | And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
