4. And, hinei, the Devar Hashem came unto him saying, This shall not be thy yoresh; but he that shall come forth out of thine own body shall be thy yoresh.
5. And He brought him forth outside, and said, Look now toward Shomayim, and count the kokhavim, if thou be able to number them; and He said unto him, So shall thy zera be.
6. And he believed in Hashem; and He credited [emunah (faith)] to him as tzedakah (righteousness).
7. And He said unto him, I am Hashem Who brought thee out of Ur Kasdim, to give thee ha'aretz hazot to be the yoresh of it.
8. And he said, Adonoi Hashem, how can I have da'as that I will be its yoresh?
9. And He said unto him, Bring Me a heifer meshuleshet, and a she goat meshuleshet, and a ram meshulash, and a dove, and a pigeon.
10. And he brought unto Him all these, and divided them in two, and laid each half one opposite another; but the birds divided he not.
11. And when the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Avram drove them away.
12. And when the shemesh was going down, a tardemah fell upon Avram; and, hinei, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13. And Hashem said unto Avram, Know of a surety that thy zera shall be a ger in a land not their own, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them arba me'ot shanah;
14. And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge; and afterward shall they come out with rechush gadol (great substance).
15. And thou shalt go to thy avot in shalom; thou shalt be buried at a good old age.
