• 31 There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.

Genesis 15:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Fear not, Abram! I am your shield and the one who will reward you in great abundance."
• 2 But Abram said, "O sovereign LORD, what will you give me since I continue to be childless, and my heir is Eliezer of Damascus?"
• 3 Abram added, "Since you have not given me a descendant, then look, one born in my house will be my heir!"
• 4 But look, the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but instead a son who comes from your own body will be your heir."
• 5 The LORD took him outside and said, "Gaze into the sky and count the stars— if you are able to count them!" Then he said to him, "So will your descendants be."
• 6 Abram believed the LORD, and the LORD considered his response of faith as proof of genuine loyalty.
• 7 The LORD said to him, "I am the LORD who brought you out from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess."
• 8 But Abram said, "O sovereign LORD, by what can I know that I am to possess it?"
• 9 The LORD said to him, "Take for me a heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon."
• 10 So Abram took all these for him and then cut them in two and placed each half opposite the other, but he did not cut the birds in half.
• 11 When birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
• 12 When the sun went down, Abram fell sound asleep, and great terror overwhelmed him.
• 13 Then the LORD said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a foreign country. They will be enslaved and oppressed for four hundred years.
• 14 But I will execute judgment on the nation that they will serve. Afterward they will come out with many possessions.
• 15 But as for you, you will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age.
• 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will return here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its limit."
• 17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking firepot with a flaming torch passed between the animal parts.
• 18 That day the LORD made a covenant with Abram: "To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River—
• 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
• 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
• 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites."

Genesis 25:9

• 9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar, the Hethite.

Genesis 49:31

• 31 There they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah; and there I buried Leah.

Genesis 15:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

• 1 After all these things happened, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision. God said, "Abram, don't be afraid. I will defend you and give you a great reward."
• 2 But Abram said, "Lord God, there is nothing you can give me that will make me happy, because I have no son. My slave Eliezer from Damascus will get everything I own after I die."
• 3 Abram said, "You have given me no son, so a slave born in my house will get everything I have."
• 4 Then the Lord spoke to Abram and said, "That slave will not be the one to get what you have. You will have a son who will get everything you own."
• 5 Then God led Abram outside and said, "Look at the sky. See the many stars. There are so many you cannot count them. Your family will be like that."
• 6 Abram believed the Lord, and because of this faith the Lord accepted him as one who has done what is right.
• 7 He said to Abram, "I am the Lord who led you from Ur of Babylonia. I did this so that I could give you this land. You will own this land."
• 8 But Abram said, "Lord God, how can I be sure that I will get this land?"
• 9 God said to Abram, "We will make an agreement. Bring me a three-year-old cow, a three-year-old goat, a three-year-old ram, a dove, and a young pigeon."
• 10 Abram brought all these to God. Abram killed these animals and cut each of them into two pieces. Then he laid each half across from the other half. He did not cut the birds into two pieces.
• 11 Later, large birds flew down to eat the animals, but Abram chased them away.
• 12 The sun began to go down and Abram got very sleepy. While he was asleep, a very terrible darkness came over him.
• 13 Then the Lord said to Abram, "You should know this: Your descendants will live in a country that is not their own. They will be strangers there. The people there will make them slaves and be cruel to them for 400 years.
• 14 But then I will punish the nation that made them slaves. Your people will leave that land, and they will take many good things with them.
• 15 "You yourself will live to be very old. You will die in peace and be buried with your family.
• 16 After four generations your people will come to this land again and defeat the Amorites. That will happen in the future because the Amorites are not yet guilty enough to lose their land."
• 17 After the sun went down, it got very dark. The dead animals were still on the ground, each animal cut into two pieces. Then a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passed between the halves of the dead animals.
• 18 So on that day the Lord made a promise and an agreement with Abram. He said, "I will give this land to your descendants. I will give them the land between the River of Egypt and the great river Euphrates.
• 19 This is the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites,
• 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites,
• 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites."
