The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:
“Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,
your very great
reward.”
But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since
I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of
Damascus?” And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant in my
household will be my heir.”
Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be
your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.” He
took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed
you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Genesis
15:1-5
