Genesis 15:2-5

New International Version

² But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord,^(A) what can you give me since I remain childless^(B) and the one who will inherit^[a] my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?^(C)” ³ And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant^(D) in my household^(E) will be my heir.”

⁴ 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.^(F)” ⁵ He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars^(G)—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring^[b] be.”^(H)
