Genesis 15:1-5

Living Bible

15 Afterwards Jehovah spoke to Abram in a vision, and this is what he told him: “Don’t be fearful, Abram, for I will defend you. And I will give you great blessings.”

^2-3 But Abram replied, “O Lord Jehovah, what good are all your blessings when I have no son? For without a son, some other member of my household^[a] will inherit all my wealth.”

⁴ Then Jehovah told him, “No, no one else will be your heir, for you will have a son to inherit everything you own.”

⁵ Then God brought Abram outside beneath the nighttime sky and told him, “Look up into the heavens and count the stars if you can. Your descendants will be like that—too many to count!”
