Genesis 15:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 15:16

14 And also the nation whom they serve ^aI will judge; afterward ^bthey shall come out with great possessions.

15 Now as for you, ^ayou shall go ^bto your fathers in peace; ^cyou shall be buried at a good old age.

16 But ^ain the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity ^bof the Amorites ^cis not yet complete.”

17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that ^apassed between those pieces.

18 On the same day the Lord ^amade a covenant with Abram, saying: ^b“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates—

19 the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites,

20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,

21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”
