Genesis 15:12-17
English Standard Version
12 As the sun was going down, a (A)deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain (B)that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and (C)they will be afflicted for (D)four hundred years. 14 But (E)I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward (F)they shall come out with great possessions. 15 As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; (G)you shall be buried in a good old age. 16 And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for (H)the iniquity of the Amorites (I)is not yet complete.”
17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

New International Version
12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep,(A) and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years(B) your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved(C) and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out(D) with great possessions.(E) 15 You, however, will go to your ancestors(F) in peace and be buried at a good old age.(G) 16 In the fourth generation(H) your descendants will come back here,(I) for the sin of the Amorites(J) has not yet reached its full measure.”
17 When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch(K) appeared and passed between the pieces.(L)

Genesis 15:12-17
King James Version
12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
