15:1 God agreement with Abram
15 After those events, Yahweh spoke to Abram in a vision, telling him, “Don’t be afraid, Abram, because I’ll protect you and I’ll generously and richly reward you.”
2 “My master Yahweh,” replied Abram, “what will you give me, since we have no children and it’s Eliezer (my chief slave from Damascus) who’ll inherit all my possessions?” 3 Then he continued, Yes, you haven’t given me a child so wow, my heir is a slave from my household!”
4 Then listen, Yahweh’s word came to Abram saying, “That man won’t be your heir, but on the contrary, it’ll be your biological son.” 5 Then Yahweh took Abram outside and said, “Look up at the sky and see if you can count the stars.” Then he said to him, “Your descendants will be like that.”[ref]
6 Abram believed in Yahweh, and Yahweh considered that faith of Abram’s as an act of obedience.[ref]
7 Then Yahweh told Abram, “I’m Yahweh who brought you out of Ur (where the Chaldeans lived) so I could give you this land to possess it.”
8 “My master Yahweh,” Abram asked, “how will I know that I will possess it?”
9 “Bring me a three-year-old heifer,” Yahweh replied, “and a three-year-old she-goat and a three-year-old ram and a turtledove and a young pigeon.” 10 So Abram brought all those to Yahweh, and then he cut the animals (but not the birds) in half down the middle and laid the halves opposite to each other. 11 Then some birds of prey flew down to the carcasses, but Abram shooed them away.
12 Later as the sun was going down, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and it suddenly became completely dark and he became terrified,[ref] 13 and Yahweh said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that doesn’t belong to them, and they will serve the rulers of that land and those rulers will persecute them for 400 years.[ref] 14 But just as certain, I’ll punish the nation that they serve and after that they’ll come out with many possessions.[ref] 15 And as for you, you’ll go to your ancestors in peace—you’ll be buried at a good old age. 16 Then in the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, because the Amorites’ sins won’t be complete until then.”
17 Then the sun went down and darkness came, and wow, there was a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch that passed between those animal halves. 18 On that day Yahweh made an agreement with Abram, saying, “I’ve given this land to your descendants, from Egypt’s river to the famous Euphrates River.[ref] 19 That includes 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.”
Rom 4:18:
18 [ref]Without any other evidence, he believed in hope itself and thus he became the father of many nations according to what he had been told: ‘Your descendants will be like the sand and the stars.’
Heb 11:12:
12 So it was that descendants came from that one man in his old age[ref] and they became as numerous as the stars in the sky and uncountable like grains of sand on the beach.
Rom 4:3:
3 [ref]because the scriptures say: ‘Abraham believed in God so he was considered guiltless.’
Gal 3:6:
3:6 The spreading of Abraham’s blessing
6 Abraham[ref] believed in God and was declared guiltless as a result.
Jam 2:23:
23 This fulfilled the scripture that says, ‘Abraham believed in God and so he was consider to be right with God, and was called a friend of God.’[ref]
Yob 4:13-14:
13 When troubled by thoughts from dreams in the night,
when people have fallen into deep sleep,
14 I was hit by fear and trembling—
my bones were shaking with fright.
Exo 1:1-14:
1:1 Yisra’el’s descendants are driven into slavery
1 These are the names of Yisra’el’s descendants who accompanied Yacob (Jacob) when he moved his household to Egypt:[ref] 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Yehudah, 3 Yissashkar (Issachar), Zebulun, Benyamin, 4 Dan, Naftali, Gad, and Asher. 5 At that time, Yacob had a total of seventy descendants (including Yosef and his sons who were already in Egypt.)
6 As the years progressed, Yosef and his brothers died—all of that generation, 7 but they’d had many children who went on to have their own children and grandchildren, and so they became a large and powerful group there in Egypt.[ref]
8 Eventually a new king came to power in Egypt (Mitsrayim) who had never known Yosef[ref] 9 and he told his people, “Listen, those descendants of Israel are becoming more numerous and powerful than us. 10 So, let’s deal wisely with them, in case they continue to multiply. Then if war was to break out, they could easily take the other side and fight against us, and then leave our country.”[ref] 11 Then they appointed overseers to work them in slave gangs, and using them as forced labour, they built the store cities at Pithon and Rameses for Far’oh (Pharaoh). 12 However, the more they oppressed them, the more they multiplied and spread out, and the more the Egyptians came to dread the Israelis. 13 So they made the Israelis work long, hard hours, 14 and they made their lives bitter with the hard slavery. They were forced to make mortar and bricks, as well as all kinds of slave labour in the fields—all the work they had to do was strenuous and tiring.
Acts 7:6:
6 [ref]And yet God also told him that his descendants would end up staying in another country where they would be enslaved and mistreated for four hundred years.
Exo 12:40-41:
40 The descendants of Yisra’el (Yacob) had lived in Egypt for 430 years[ref] 41 to the day, because that very day was when all the various divisions of Yahweh’s people left Egypt.
Acts 7:7:
7 [ref]However God promised to punish the nation that enslaved them, and told him that in the end they would leave that place and serve him here in this country.
Acts 7:5:
5 [ref]Abraham hadn’t received any land here as an inheritance, in fact he’d never been near this land and nor did he have any children, yet God promised to give this entire country to him and his descendants.
