Genesis 15:9-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. And he said unto him, Take me a heifer three years old, and a she-goat three years old, and a ram three years old, and a turtle-dove, and a young pigeon.

10. And he took him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each half over against the other: but the birds divided he not.

11. And the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

12. And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.

13. And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, 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. But thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
