Chp. 15 verses 1-15: After Avram's victory over the 4 kings Hashem assures him that he still has a great deal of merit. Hashem then promises him that he will have an heir and that he will inherit the land. This is called the "covenant between the parts." Hashem has him bring three animals and two birds as part of the ritual. He then tells him that his children will be enslaved for 400 years and the nation that enslaves them will be judged and that they will leave with great wealth. But G-d assures him that this would occur after his death, that he would live in peace.
