Genesis 15:1--16:16

15:1

After
<0310>

these things
<01697>

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came
<01961> (8804)

unto Abram
<087>

in a vision
<04236>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not, Abram
<087>_:

I [am] thy shield
<04043>_,

[and] thy exceeding
<03966>

great
<07235> (8687)

reward
<07939>_.

15:2

And Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

what wilt thou give
<05414> (8799)

me, seeing I go
<01980> (8802)

childless
<06185>_,

and the steward
<01121> <04943>

of my house
<01004>

[is] this
<01931>

Eliezer
<0461>

of Damascus
<01834>_?

15:3

And Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, to me thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

no
<03808>

seed
<02233>_:

and, lo, one born
<01121>

in my house
<01004>

is mine heir
<03423> (8802)_.

15:4

And, behold, the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

[came] unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

This shall not be thine heir
<03423> (8799)_;

but he that shall come forth
<03318> (8799)

out of thine own bowels
<04578>

shall be thine heir
<03423> (8799)_.

15:5

And he brought him forth
<03318> (8686)

abroad
<02351>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Look
<05027> (8685)

now toward heaven
<08064>_,

and tell
<05608> (8798)

the stars
<03556>_,

if thou be able
<03201> (8799)

to number
<05608> (8800)

them: and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, So
<03541>

shall thy seed
<02233>

be.

15:6

And he believed
<0539> (8689)

in the LORD
<03068>_;

and he counted
<02803> (8799)

it to him for righteousness
<06666>_.

15:7

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, I [am] the LORD
<03068>

that brought thee out
<03318> (8689)

of Ur
<0218>

of the Chaldees
<03778>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

thee this land
<0776>

to inherit
<03423> (8800)

it.

15:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

whereby
<04100>

shall I know
<03045> (8799)

that I shall inherit it
<03423> (8799)_?

15:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Take
<03947> (8798)

me an heifer
<05697>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a she goat
<05795>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a ram
<0352>

of three years old
<08027> (8794)_,

and a turtledove
<08449>_,

and a young pigeon
<01469>_.

15:10

And he took
<03947> (8799)

unto him all these, and divided
<01334> (8762)

them in the midst
<08432>_,

and laid
<05414> (8799)

each
<0376>

piece
<01335>

one against
<07125> (8800)

another
<07453>_:

but the birds
<06833>

divided
<01334> (8804)

he not.

15:11

And when the fowls
<05861>

came down
<03381> (8799)

upon the carcases
<06297>_,

Abram
<087>

drove them away
<05380> (8686)_.

15:12

And when the sun
<08121>

was going down
<0935> (8800)_,

a deep sleep
<08639>

fell
<05307> (8804)

upon Abram
<087>_;

and, lo, an horror
<0367>

of great
<01419>

darkness
<02825>

fell
<05307> (8802)

upon him.

15:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Know
<03045> (8799)

of a surety
<03045> (8800)

that thy seed
<02233>

shall be a stranger
<01616>

in a land
<0776>

[that is] not theirs, and shall serve
<05647> (8804)

them; and they shall afflict
<06031> (8765)

them four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>_;

15:14

And also that nation
<01471>_,

whom they shall serve
<05647> (8799)_,

will I judge
<01777> (8802)_:

and afterward
<0310> <03651>

shall they come out
<03318> (8799)

with great
<01419>

substance
<07399>_.

15:15

And thou shalt go
<0935> (8799)

to thy fathers
<01>

in peace
<07965>_;

thou shalt be buried
<06912> (8735)

in a good
<02896>

old age
<07872>_.

15:16

But in the fourth
<07243>

generation
<01755>

they shall come hither
<02008>

again
<07725> (8799)_:

for the iniquity
<05771>

of the Amorites
<0567>

[is] not yet
<02008>

full
<08003>_.

15:17

And it came to pass, that, when the sun
<08121>

went down
<0935> (8804)_,

and it was dark
<05939>_,

behold a smoking
<06227>

furnace
<08574>_,

and a burning
<0784>

lamp
<03940>

that passed
<05674> (8804)

between
<0996>

those pieces
<01506>_.

{a burning...: Heb. a lamp of fire}

15:18

In the same
<01931>

day
<03117>

the LORD
<03068>

made
<03772> (8804)

a covenant
<01285>

with Abram
<087>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Unto thy seed
<02233>

have I given
<05414> (8804)

this land
<0776>_,

from the river
<05104>

of Egypt
<04714>

unto the great
<01419>

river
<05104>_,

the river
<05104>

Euphrates
<06578>_:

15:19

The Kenites
<07017>_,

and the Kenizzites
<07074>_,

and the Kadmonites
<06935>_,

15:20

And the Hittites
<02850>_,

and the Perizzites
<06522>_,

and the Rephaims
<07497>_,

15:21

And the Amorites
<0567>_,

and the Canaanites
<03669>_,

and the Girgashites
<01622>_,

and the Jebusites
<02983>_.

16:1

Now Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>

bare
<03205> (0)

him no
<03808>

children
<03205> (8804)_:

and she had an handmaid
<08198>_,

an Egyptian
<04713>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Hagar
<01904>_.

16:2

And Sarai
<08297>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

Behold now, the LORD
<03068>

hath restrained me
<06113> (8804)

from bearing
<03205> (8800)_:

I pray thee, go in
<0935> (8798)

unto my maid
<08198>_;

it may
<0194>

be that I may obtain children
<01129> (8735)

by her. And Abram
<087>

hearkened
<08085> (8799)

to the voice
<06963>

of Sarai
<08297>_.

{obtain...: Heb. be built by her}

16:3

And Sarai
<08297>

Abram's
<087>

wife
<0802>

took
<03947> (8799)

Hagar
<01904>

her maid
<08198>

the Egyptian
<04713>_,

after
<07093>

Abram
<087>

had dwelt
<03427> (8800)

ten
<06235>

years
<08141>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

her to her husband
<0376>

Abram
<087>

to be his wife
<0802>_.

16:4

And he went in
<0935> (8799)

unto Hagar
<01904>_,

and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_:

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,

her mistress
<01404>

was despised
<07043> (8799)

in her eyes
<05869>_.

16:5

And Sarai
<08297>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abram
<087>_,

My wrong
<02555>

[be] upon thee: I have given
<05414> (8804)

my maid
<08198>

into thy bosom
<02436>_;

and when she saw
<07200> (8799)

that she had conceived
<02029> (8804)_,

I was despised
<07043> (8799)

in her eyes
<05869>_:

the LORD
<03068>

judge
<08199> (8799)

between me and thee.

16:6

But Abram
<087>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Sarai
<08297>_,

Behold, thy maid
<08198>

[is] in thy hand
<03027>_;

do
<06213> (8798)

to her as it pleaseth thee
<02896> <05869>_.

And when Sarai
<08297>

dealt hardly with
<06031> (8762)

her, she fled
<01272> (8799)

from her face
<06440>_.

{as...: Heb. that which is good in thine eyes} {dealt...: Heb. afflicted her}

16:7

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

found her
<04672> (8799)

by a fountain
<05869>

of water
<04325>

in the wilderness
<04057>_,

by the fountain
<05869>

in the way
<01870>

to Shur
<07793>_.

16:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hagar
<01904>_,

Sarai's
<08297>

maid
<08198>_,

whence
<0335>

camest thou
<0935> (8804)_?

and whither wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)_?

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I flee
<01272> (8802)

from the face
<06440>

of my mistress
<01404>

Sarai
<08297>_.

16:9

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Return
<07725> (8798)

to thy mistress
<01404>_,

and submit
<06031> (8690)

thyself under her hands
<03027>_.

16:10

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, I will multiply
<07235> (8686)

thy seed
<02233>

exceedingly
<07235> (8687)_,

that it shall not be numbered
<05608> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

16:11

And the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Behold
<02009>_,

thou [art] with child
<02030>_,

and shalt bear
<03205> (8802)

a son
<01121>_,

and shalt call
<07121> (8804)

his name
<08034>

Ishmael
<03458>_;

because the LORD
<03068>

hath heard
<08085> (8804)

thy affliction
<06040>_.

{Ishmael: that is, God shall hear}

16:12

And he will be a wild
<06501>

man
<0120>_;

his hand
<03027>

[will be] against every man, and every man's hand
<03027>

against him; and he shall dwell
<07931> (8799)

in the presence
<06440>

of all his brethren
<0251>_.

16:13

And she called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

that spake
<01696> (8802)

unto her, Thou God
<0410>

seest me
<07210>_:

for she said
<0559> (8804)_,

Have I also here
<01988>

looked
<07200> (8804)

after him
<0310>

that seeth me
<07210>_?

16:14

Wherefore the well
<0875>

was called
<07121> (8804)

Beerlahairoi
<0883> <02416>_;

behold, [it is] between Kadesh
<06946>

and Bered
<01260>_.

{Beerlahairoi: that is, The well of him that liveth and seeth me}

16:15

And Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8799)

Abram
<087>

a son
<01121>_:

and Abram
<087>

called
<07121> (8799)

his son's
<01121>

name
<08034>_,

which Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8804)_,

Ishmael
<03458>_.

16:16

And Abram
<087>

[was] fourscore
<08084> <08141>

and six
<08337>

years
<08141>

old
<01121>_,

when Hagar
<01904>

bare
<03205> (8800)

Ishmael
<03458>

to Abram
<087>_.
