Genesis 15:1-7

CJB

NIV

1 Some time later the word of ADONAI came to Avram in a vision: "Don't be afraid, Avram. I am your protector; your reward will be very great."
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 Avram replied, "ADONAI, God, what good will your gifts be to me if I continue childless; and Eli'ezer from Dammesek inherits my possessions?
2 But Abram said, “Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
3 You haven't given me a child," Avram continued, "so someone born in my house will be my heir."
3 And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
4 But the word of ADONAI came to him: "This man will not be your heir. No, your heir will be a child from your own body."
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.”
5 Then he brought him outside and said, "Look up at the sky, and count the stars - if you can count them! Your descendants will be that many!"
5 He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”
6 He believed in ADONAI, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
7 Then he said to him, "I am ADONAI, who brought you out from Ur-Kasdim to give you this land as your possession."
7 He also said to him, “I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it.”
