Genesis 15:4-8
4Then beholdH2009, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came to him, sayingH559, “ThisH2088 man will not be your heirH3423; 1but one whoH834 will comeH3318 forthH3318 from your own 2bodyH4578, he shall be your heirH3423.”
5And He tookH3318 him outsideH2351 and saidH559, “NowH4994 lookH5027 toward the heavensH8064, and 3countH5608 the starsH3556, ifH518 you are ableH3201 to countH5608 them.” And He saidH559 to him, “4SoH3541 shall your 5descendantsH2233 be.”
66Then he believedH539 in the LordH3068; and He reckonedH2803 it to him as righteousnessH6666.
7And He saidH559 to him, “I am the LordH3068 whoH834 broughtH3318 you out of 7UrH218 of the ChaldeansH3778, to 8giveH5414 you thisH2088 landH776 to 9possessH3423 it.”
8He saidH559, “O LordH136 10GodH3068, 11howH4100 may I knowH3045 that I will 12possessH3423 it?”
