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 5credited it to him as righteousness.

7And He said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you out of 6Ur of the Chaldeans, to 7give you this land to 8possess it.”

8But he said, “Lord 9God, 10how may I know that I will 11possess it?”
