1 After these things, Enki came to Abram in a vision, saying:
Fear not, Abram. I am your shield, and your exceeding great reward.
2 What will you give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? To me you have given no seed.
4 This shall not be your heir. Your heir shall come forth out of your own bowels.
5 He brought him outside and said:
Look now towards the stars. Your seed will be as numerous as them.
6 Abram believed in Enki. He counted it to him for righteousness.
7 I am Enki who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.
8 Lord Enki, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
9 Give me a 3 year old calf, and a 3 year old she goat and a ram of 3 years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11 When the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 Enki said to Abram:
Your seed shall be a foreigner in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them. They shall afflict them 400 years. 14 Also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. {15:15} You shalt go to your fathers in peace; you shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites [is] not yet full.
17 When the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
28 In the same day, Enki made a covenant with Abram:
Unto your seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: 19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, {15:20} And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, {15:21} And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
