Genesis 15:5-8
5And He took him outside and said, “Now look toward the heavens, and 1count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “2So shall your 3descendants be.”
64Then he believed in the Lord; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.
7And He said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you out of 5Ur of the Chaldeans, to 6give you this land to 7possess it.”
8He said, “O Lord 8God, 9how may I know that I will 10possess it?”
