14 but I will execute judgment on the people to whom they shall be in bondage; After this they will go out with great goods;

15 But thou shalt depart to thy fathers in peace, and shalt be buried in a good old age;

16 In the fourth generation they shall return hither: for the measure of the iniquities of the Amorites has not yet been filled.

17 And when the sun went down and darkness came, behold, smoke as from a furnace and a flame of fire passed through the cut animals.

18 And on this day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.

19 Keneev, Kenezee, Kedmoneev,

20 The Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,

21 The Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, the Gergeshaites, and the Jebusites.

Chapter 16

1 But Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him not. And she had an Egyptian maidservant, whose name was Hagar.

2 And Sarai said to Abram, "Behold, the Lord has shut up my womb, that I should not bear children; Come in to my maidservant: perhaps I will have children by her. Abram listened to Sarai's words.

3 And Sarai the wife of Abram took her maidservant, Hagar the Egyptian woman, after the end of ten years of Abram's sojourn in the land of Canaan, and gave her to Abram her husband to wife.

4 He went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, she began to despise her mistress.

5 And Sarai said to Abram, 'For my offense you are guilty; I have given my maidservant into your bosom; and she, seeing that she had conceived, began to despise me; Let the Lord be the judge between me and you.

6 And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, thy maidservant is in thy hand; do with it what you please. And Sarah oppressed her, and she ran away from her.

7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by a fountain on the road to Shur.

8 And the angel of the Lord said, "Hagar, Sarina's maidservant! Where did you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am fleeing from the presence of Sarah my lady.

9 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return unto thy lady, and submit unto her.

10 And the angel of the Lord said unto her, 'I will multiply thy offspring, that it may not be numbered of the multitude.'

11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and thou shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael, for the LORD hath heard thy affliction;

12 He shall be among men as a wild ass; His hands are against all, and the hands of all against him; he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
