Genesis 15:8 in Context — Genesis 15
6 Abram eut confiance en l’Éternel, qui le lui imputa à justice.
7 L’Éternel lui dit encore: Je suis l’Éternel, qui t’ai fait sortir d’Ur en Chaldée, pour te donner en possession ce pays.
8 Abram répondit: Seigneur Éternel, à quoi connaîtrai-je que je le posséderai?
9 Et l’Éternel lui dit: Prends une génisse de trois ans, une chèvre de trois ans, un bélier de trois ans, une tourterelle et une jeune colombe.
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.
