And they shall make bondmen of them and entreat them evil
four hundred years. But the nation whom they shall serve, will I
judge. And afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Nevertheless thou shalt go unto thy fathers in peace, and shalt be
buried when thou art of a good age: and in the fourth generation
they shall come hither again, for the wickedness of the Amorites
is not yet full. When the sun was down and it was waxed dark:
behold, there was a smoking furnace and a fire brand that went
between the said pieces. And that same day the LORD made a
covenant with Abram saying: unto thy seed will I give this land,
from the river of Egypt, even unto the great river Euphrates: the
Kenites, the Kenizites, the Cadmonites, the Hethites, the
Pherezites, the Raphaims, the Amorites, the Cananites, the
Gergesites and the Iebusites.
Chapter .xvi.
Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children. But she had an hand maid
an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. Wherefore she said unto Abram:
Behold the LORD hath closed me, that I can not bear. I pray thee
go in unto my maid, peradventure I shall be multiplied by means of
her; And Abram heard the voice of Sarai. Then Sarai Abram's wife
took Hagar her maid the Egyptian (after Abram had dwelled ten
years in the land of Canaan) and gave her to her husband Abram, to
be his wife.
