Abram believed the LORD, so the LORD was pleased with him and accepted him.

Later the LORD spoke to Abram in a vision, “Abram, don't be afraid! I will protect you and reward you greatly.”

Then the LORD took Abram outside and said, “Look at the sky and see if you can count the stars. That's how many descendants you will have.”

The LORD replied, “No, he won't! You will have a son of your own, and everything you have will be his.”

Then the LORD said: Abram, you will live to an old age and die in peace. But I solemnly promise that your descendants will live as foreigners in a land that doesn't belong to them. They will be forced into slavery and abused for 400 years. But I will terribly punish the nation that enslaves them, and they will leave with many possessions.

But Abram answered, “LORD All-Powerful, you have given me everything I could ask for, except children. And when I die, Eliezer of Damascus will get all I own.

At that time the LORD made an agreement with Abram and told him: I will give your descendants the land east of the Shihor River on the border of Egypt as far as the Euphrates River.

Four generations later, your descendants will return here and take this land, because only then will the people who live here be so sinful that they deserve to be punished.
