New International Version NIV
1 Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding 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 And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.
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 And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant born in my house, shall be my heir.
3
And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
4 And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying:He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy 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.”
