這事以後，耶和華在異象中有話對亞伯蘭說：「亞伯蘭，你不要懼怕！我是你的盾牌，必大大地賞賜你。」 1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: 「Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, 15:1 Or （（sovereign）） your very great reward.」 15:1 Or （（shield;）） / （（your reward will be very great））
亞伯蘭說：「主耶和華啊，我既無子，你還賜我甚麼呢？並且要承受我家業的是大馬士革人以利以謝。」 2 But Abram said, 「O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit 15:2 The meaning of the Hebrew for this phrase is uncertain. my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?」
耶和華又有話對他說：「這人必不成為你的後嗣；你本身所生的才成為你的後嗣。」 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.」
於是領他走到外邊，說：「你向天觀看，數算眾星，能數得過來嗎？」又對他說：「你的後裔將要如此。」 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.」
耶和華又對他說：「我是耶和華，曾領你出了迦勒底的吾珥，為要將這地賜你為業。」 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.」
他說：「你為我取一隻三年的母牛，一隻三年的母山羊，一隻三年的公綿羊，一隻斑鳩，一隻雛鴿。」 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.」
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，只有鳥沒有劈開。 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.
耶和華對亞伯蘭說：「你要的確知道，你的後裔必寄居別人的地，又服事那地的人；那地的人要苦待他們四百年。 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.
到了第四代，他們必回到此地，因為亞摩利人的罪孽還沒有滿盈。」 16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.」
日落天黑，不料有冒煙的爐並燒著的火把從那些肉塊中經過。 17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces.
當那日，耶和華與亞伯蘭立約，說：「我已賜給你的後裔，從埃及河直到幼發拉底大河之地， 18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, 「To your descendants I give this land, from the river 15:18 Or （（Wadi）） of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates--
September 18 "Where there is no vision, the people perish." (Prov. 29:18.) ＷAITING upon God is necessary in order to see Him, to have a vision of Him. The time element in vision is essential. Our hearts are like a sensitive photographer's plate; and in order to have God revealed there, we must sit at His feet a long time. The troubled surface of a lake will not reflect an object. Our lives must be quiet and restful if we would see God. There is power in the sight of some things to affect one's life. A quiet sunset will bring peace to a troubled heart. Thus the vision of God always transforms human life. Jacob saw God at Jabbok's ford, and became Israel. The vision of God transformed Gideon from a coward into a valiant soldier. The vision of Christ changed Thomas from a doubting follower into a loyal, devout disciple. But men have had visions of God since Bible times. William Carey saw God, and left his shoemaker's bench and went to India. David Livingstone saw God, and left all to follow Him through the jungles of dark Africa. Scores and hundreds have had visions of God, and are today in the uttermost parts of the earth working for the speedy evangelization of the heathen. ─Dr. Pardington. There is hardly ever a complete silence in the soul. God is whispering to us well-nigh incessantly. Whenever the sounds of the world die out in the soul, or sink low, then we hear the whisperings of God. He is always whispering to us, only we do not hear, because of the noise, hurry, and distraction which life causes as it rushes. ─F. W. Faber.
