Genesis 15:2-6

Good News Translation

² But Abram answered, “Sovereign Lord, what good will your reward do me, since I have no children? My only heir is Eliezer of Damascus.^{[a] 3} You have given me no children, and one of my slaves will inherit my property.”

⁴ Then he heard the Lord speaking to him again: “This slave Eliezer will not inherit your property; your own son will be your heir.” ^5 (A)The Lord took him outside and said, “Look at the sky and try to count the stars; you will have as many descendants as that.”

^6 (B)Abram put his trust in the Lord, and because of this the Lord was pleased with him and accepted him.
