After the sun went down and darkness fell, Abram saw a smoking firepot and a flaming torch pass between the halves of the carcasses. So the Lord made a covenant with Abram that day and said, “I have given this land to your descendants, all the way from the border of Egypt to the great Euphrates River-the land now occupied by the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadominites, Hittites, Perizzeites, Rephaitses Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, and Jebusites.” (vv. 17-20, NLT)
