Gn 15 (King James)

¹ After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
² And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
³ And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
⁴ And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
⁵ And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
⁶ And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
⁷ And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
⁸ And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
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.
¹⁰ And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
¹¹ And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
¹² And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
¹³ And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not their's, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
¹⁴ And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
¹⁵ And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
¹⁶ But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
¹⁷ And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
¹⁸ In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
¹⁹ The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
²⁰ And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
²¹ And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Gn 15 (Vulgate)

¹ His itaque transactis, factus est sermo Domini ad Abram per visionem dicens : Noli timere, Abram : ego protector tuus sum, et merces tua magna nimis.
² Dixitque Abram : Domine Deus, quid dabis mihi ? ego vadam absque liberis, et filius procuratoris domus meæ iste Damascus Eliezer.
³ Addiditque Abram : Mihi autem non dedisti semen, et ecce vernaculus meus, hæres meus erit.
⁴ Statimque sermo Domini factus est ad eum, dicens : Non erit hic hæres tuus, sed qui egredietur de utero tuo, ipsum habebis hæredem.
⁵ Eduxitque eum foras, et ait illi : Suspice cælum, et numera stellas, si potes. Et dixit ei : Sic erit semen tuum.
⁶ Credidit Abram Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam.
⁷ Dixitque ad eum : Ego Dominus qui eduxi te de Ur Chaldæorum ut darem tibi terram istam, et possideres eam.
⁸ At ille ait : Domine Deus, unde scire possum quod possessurus sim eam ?
⁹ Et respondens Dominus : Sume, inquit, mihi vaccam triennem, et capram trimam, et arietem annorum trium, turturem quoque et columbam.
¹⁰ Qui tollens universa hæc, divisit ea per medium, et utrasque partes contra se altrinsecus posuit ; aves autem non divisit.
¹¹ Descenderuntque volucres super cadavera, et abigebat eas Abram.
¹² Cumque sol occumberet, sopor irruit super Abram, et horror magnus et tenebrosus invasit eum.
¹³ Dictumque est ad eum : Scito prænoscens quod peregrinum futurum sit semen tuum in terra non sua, et subjicient eos servituti, et affligent quadringentis annis.
¹⁴ Verumtamen gentem, cui servituri sunt, ego judicabo : et post hæc egredientur cum magna substantia.
¹⁵ Tu autem ibis ad patres tuos in pace, sepultus in senectute bona.
¹⁶ Generatione autem quarta revertentur huc : necdum enim completæ sunt iniquitates Amorrhæorum usque ad præsens tempus.
¹⁷ Cum ergo occubuisset sol, facta est caligo tenebrosa, et apparuit clibanus fumans, et lampas ignis transiens inter divisiones illas.
¹⁸ In illo die pepigit Dominus fœdus cum Abram, dicens : Semini tuo dabo terram hanc a fluvio Ægypti usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten,
¹⁹ Cinæos, et Cenezæos, Cedmonæos,
²⁰ et Hethæos, et Pherezæos, Raphaim quoque,
²¹ et Amorrhæos, et Chananæos, et Gergesæos, et Jebusæos.
