- 2 But Abram sayde: LORDE LORDE, what wilt thou geue me? I go childles, and the seruaunt of my house (this Eleasar of Damascos) hath a sonne.
- 3 And Abram sayde morouer: Beholde, vnto me hast thou geuen no sede: and lo, the sonne of my housholde shal be myne heyre.
- 4 And beholde, the worde of the LORDE spake vnto him, and saide: He shal not be thine heyre, but one that shal come out of thine owne body, he shal be thine heyre.
- 5 And he bad him go forth, and sayde: Loke vp vnto heauen, and tell ye starres: Canst thou nombre them? And he sayde vnto him: Euen so shal thy sede be.
- 6 Abram beleued the LORDE, and yt was counted vnto him for righteousnes.
- 7 And he sayde vnto him: I am ye LORDE, yt brought the from Vr out of Chaldea, to geue ye this londe to possesse it.
- 8 But Abram sayde: LORDE LORDE, Wherby shall I knowe, that I shall possesse it?
- 9 And he sayde vnto him: Take a cow of thre yeare olde, and a she goate of thre yeare olde, and a ramme of thre yeare olde, and a turtyll doue, and a yonge pigeon.
- 10 And he toke all these, and deuyded them in the myddes, and layde the one parte ouer agaynst the other, but the foules deuyded he not.
- 11 And the foules fell vpo the flesh, but Abram droue them awaye.

- 14 But the people who they shal serue, wyl I iudge. Afterwarde shall they go forth with greate substaunce:
- 15 and thou shalt departe vnto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good age.
- 16 And after the fourth generacion they shall come hither agayne, for the wickednes of ye Amorites is not yet full.
- 17 So whan the Sonne was downe, and it was waxed darcke: Beholde, there smoked a fornace, and a fyre brande wente betwene ye partes.
