1 這事以耶和華異象中有亞伯蘭說:亞伯蘭,你不要懼!我是你的盾牌,必大大的賞賜你。

2 亞伯蘭耶和華阿,我既無子,你還賜我甚麼呢?並且要承受我家業的是大馬色人以利以謝。

3 亞伯蘭:你沒有兒子;那生在我家中的人就是我的後嗣。

4 耶和華又有對他:這人必不成為你的後嗣;你本身所生的才成為你的後嗣。

5 於是領他走到外邊,:你向觀看,算眾,能得過來麼?又對他:你的後裔將要如此。

6 亞伯蘭信耶和華耶和華就以此為他的

7 耶和華又對他:我是耶和華,曾領你出了迦勒底的吾珥,為要將這賜你為業。

8 亞伯蘭耶和華阿,我怎能知道必得這地為業呢?

9 :你為我取一隻年的母,一隻年的母山羊,一隻年的公綿,一隻斑鳩,一隻雛鴿。

10 亞伯蘭就取了這些來,每樣劈開,分成兩半,一半對著一半地擺列,只有沒有劈開。

11 有鷙鳥來,落在那死畜的肉上,亞伯蘭就把他嚇飛了。

12 日頭正落的時候,亞伯蘭沉沉地睡了;忽然有驚人的黑暗落在他身上。

13 耶和華對亞伯蘭:你要的確知道,你的後裔必寄居別人的,又服事那的人;那的人要苦待他們年。

14 並且他們所要服事的那國,我要懲罰,來他們必帶著許多財物從那裡出來。

15 但你要享大壽數,平平安安地歸到你列祖那裡,被人埋葬。

16 到了第四,他們必回到此地,因為亞摩利人的罪孽還沒有滿盈。

17 日落天黑,不料有冒煙的爐並燒著的把從那些肉塊中經過。

18 當那日,耶和華亞伯蘭立約,:我已賜你的後裔,從埃及直到伯拉

19 就是基尼人、基尼洗人、甲摩尼人、

20 赫人、比利洗人、利乏音人、

21 亞摩利人、迦南人、革迦撒人、耶布斯人之地。

4516. 'You have brought trouble on me, by making me stink to the inhabitant of the land' means that those who belonged to the Ancient Church abominated them. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing trouble on me, by making me stink' as causing them to abominate, and from the meaning of 'the inhabitant of the land' here as those who belonged to the Ancient Church. For 'the land' means the Church, 566, 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), 2928, 3355, 4447, and so 'the inhabitant of the land' those who belong to the Church, which in this case is the Ancient Church since that Church continued to exist among some nations in the land of Canaan. But that which was a representative of the Church was not established among the people descended from Jacob until that Ancient Church had completely come to an end. This fact is also meant by those descended from Jacob not being allowed into the land of Canaan until the iniquity of the inhabitants of the land had come to a close, as stated in Genesis 15:16. For no new Church is ever established until the previous one has been laid waste.
