Abram put his trust in the LORD, and because of this the LORD was pleased with him and accepted him.

After this, Abram had a vision and heard the LORD say to him, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I will shield you from danger and give you a great reward.”

The LORD took him outside and said, “Look at the sky and try to count the stars; you will have as many descendants as that.”

Then he heard the LORD speaking to him again: “This slave Eliezer will not inherit your property; your own son will be your heir.”

The LORD said to him, “Your descendants will be strangers in a foreign land; they will be slaves there and will be treated cruelly for 400 years.

But Abram answered, “Sovereign LORD, what good will your reward do me, since I have no children? My only heir is Eliezer of Damascus.

Then and there the LORD made a covenant with Abram. He said, “I promise to give your descendants all this land from the border of Egypt to the River Euphrates

It will be four generations before your descendants come back here, because I will not drive out the Amorites until they become so wicked that they must be punished.”
