(Genesis 15:1-6 NIV)
1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision:
"Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward. "
2 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD,
what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate
is Eliezer of Damascus?"
3 And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir."
4 Then the word of the LORD came to him:
"This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir."
5 He took him outside and said,
"Look up at the heavens and count the stars--if indeed you can count them."
Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
