Yahweh’s Covenant with Abram

I continue to be^[c] childless, and my heir^[d] is Eliezer of Damascus.” ³ And Abram said, “Look, you have not given me a descendant, and here, a member of my household^[e] is my heir.”^{[f] 4} And behold, the word of Yahweh came to him saying, “This person will not be your heir,^[g] but your own son will be your heir.”^[h]
