Then Abram believed the LORD, and that faith was regarded as the basis of Abram’s approval by the LORD.

Later the LORD spoke his word to Abram in a vision. He said, “Abram, don’t be afraid. I am your shield. Your reward will be very great.”

He took Abram outside and said, “Now look up at the sky and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” He also said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!”

Suddenly, the LORD spoke his word to Abram again. He said, “This man will not be your heir. Your own son will be your heir.”

God said to Abram, “You can know for sure that your descendants will live in a land that is not their own, where they will be slaves, and they will be oppressed for 400 years.

Abram asked, “Almighty LORD, what will you give me? Since I’m going to die without children, Eliezer of Damascus will inherit my household.

At that time the LORD made a promise  to Abram. He said, “I will give this land to your descendants. This is the land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.

In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, because the sin of the Amorites will not have run its course until then.”
