Sermons citing Genesis 15:7–21

^15:9 And the LORD said to him, “Bring Me a heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, along with a turtledove and a young pigeon.”

^15:10 So Abram brought all these to Him, split each of them down the middle, and laid the halves opposite each other. The birds, however, he did not cut in half.

^15:11 And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.

^15:12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and suddenly great terror and darkness overwhelmed him.

^15:13 Then the LORD said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.

^15:14 But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.

^15:15 You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a ripe old age.

^15:16 In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”

^15:17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch appeared and passed between the halves of the carcasses.

^15:18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land—from the river of Egypt to the great River Euphrates—

^15:19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,

^15:20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,

^15:21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.”
