Genesis 15:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² As the sun was ·going down [setting], Abram fell into a deep sleep. While he was asleep, a very ·terrible [or frightening] darkness came. ¹³ Then the Lord said to Abram, “You can be sure that your ·descendants [^Lseed] will be ·strangers [sojourners; wanderers; resident aliens] in a land they don’t own. The people there will make them slaves and ·be cruel to [oppress] them for four hundred years. ¹⁴ But I will ·punish [judge] the nation ·where they are slaves [^Lwhich they serve]. Then your ·descendants [^Lseed] will leave that land, taking great ·wealth [possessions] with them.
