Promises to Abram^(A)

12 Now the ^(B)Lord had said to Abram:

¹⁴ And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot ^(A)had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—^(B)northward, southward, eastward, and westward; ¹⁵ for all the land which you see ^(C)I give to you and ^(D)your ^[a]descendants forever. ¹⁶ And ^(E)I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. ¹⁷ Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.”

¹³ Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly ^(A)that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and ^(B)they will afflict them four hundred years. ¹⁴ And also the nation whom they serve ^(C)I will judge; afterward ^(D)they shall come out with great possessions. ¹⁵ Now as for you, ^(E)you shall ^[a]go ^(F)to your fathers in peace; ^(G)you shall be buried at a good old age. ¹⁶ But ^(H)in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity ^(I)of the Amorites ^(J)is not yet complete.”
