2
And Abram said , Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3
And Abram said , Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir .
4
And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying , This shall not be thine heir ; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir .
5
And he brought him forth abroad, and said , Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
6
And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
7
And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
8
And he said , Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it ?
9
And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old , and a she goat of three years old , and a ram of three years old , and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
10
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
11
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away .
12
And when the sun was going down , a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
