11. When birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12. As the sun was just about to set, a deep sleep—a dreadful, deep darkness—came over Abram.
13. God said to Abram, “You can know for sure that your descendants will live in a land that is not their own, where they will be slaves, and they will be oppressed for 400 years.
14. But I will punish the nation they serve, and after that they will come out with many possessions.
15. But you will die in peace and be buried at a very old age.
16. In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, because the sin of the Amorites will not have run its course until then.”
