Genesis 15:12 in Context — Genesis 15
10 Abram prit tous ces animaux, les coupa par le milieu, et mit chaque morceau l’un vis-à-vis de l’autre; mais il ne partagea point les oiseaux.
11 Les oiseaux de proie s’abattirent sur les cadavres; et Abram les chassa.
12 Au coucher du soleil, un profond sommeil tomba sur Abram; et voici, une frayeur et une grande obscurité vinrent l’assaillir.
13 Et l’Éternel dit à Abram: Sache que tes descendants seront étrangers dans un pays qui ne sera point à eux; ils y seront asservis, et on les opprimera pendant quatre cents ans.
14 Mais je jugerai la nation à laquelle ils seront asservis, et ils sortiront ensuite avec de grandes richesses.
