God made unilateral covenant with Abram
Genesis 15:9-21 (ESV)
^9 He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
^10 And he brought him all these, cut them in half, and laid each half over against the other. But he did not cut the birds in half.
^11 And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
^12 As the sun was going down, 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 that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years.
^14 But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
^15 As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age.
^16 And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites 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.
^18 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,
^19 the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,
^20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,
^21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”
