Genesis 15:4-8

4And, behold, the wordH1697 of Jehovah cameH3318 unto him, sayingH559, This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall comeH3318 forthH3318 out of thine own bowelsH4578 shall be thine heir.

5And he broughtH3318 him forthH3318 abroad, and saidH559, LookH5027 now toward heavenH8064, and number the starsH3556, if thou beH1961 ableH3201 to number them: and he saidH559 unto him, So shall thy seedH2233 beH1961.

6And he believedH539 in Jehovah; and he reckonedH2803 it to him for righteousnessH6666.

7And he saidH559 unto him, I am Jehovah that broughtH3318 thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to giveH5414 thee this landH776 to inheritH3423 it.

8And he saidH559, O LordH136 Jehovah, whereby shall I knowH3045 that I shall inheritH3423 it?
