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.”
17. The sun had gone down, and it was dark. Suddenly a smoking oven and a flaming torch passed between the animal pieces.
18. At that time the Lord made a promise to Abram. He said, “I will give this land to your descendants. This is the land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.
19. It is the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
20. the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
21. the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
