Verses of Genesis 15 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward. "
2 - But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"
3 - And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir."
4 - Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir."
5 - He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars-if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
6 - Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
7 - He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it."
8 - But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?"
9 - So the LORD said to him, "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon."
10 - Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, however, he did not cut in half.
11 - Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
12 - As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him.
13 - Then the LORD said to him, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.
14 - But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.
15 - You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age.
16 - In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure."
17 - When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.
18 - On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates-
19 - the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
20 - Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
21 - Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites."
