4. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
5. And he brought him forth outside, and said,
6. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7. And he said unto him,
8. And he said, Lord GOD, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9. And he said unto him,
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 birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, 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,
14. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great possessions.
