Genesis 14:21-15:6
New American Standard Bible
21 Then the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the [a]people to me and take the possessions for yourself.” 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have [b]sworn to the Lord [c](A)God Most High, [d](B)Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that (C)I will not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, so that you do not say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’ 24 [e]I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, (D)Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share.”
Abram Promised a Son
15 After these things (E)the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying,
2 But Abram said, “Lord [g]God, what will You give me, since I [h]am childless, and the [i]heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3 Abram also said, “[j]Since You have given me no [k]son, [l]one who has been (I)born in my house is my heir.” 4 Then behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, “This man will not be your heir; (J)but one who will come from your own [m]body shall be your heir.” 5 And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens and (K)count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “(L)So shall your [n]descendants be.” 6 (M)Then he believed in the Lord; and He [o]credited it to him as righteousness.
