Genesis 15:4-8

4Then beholdH2009, the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 came to him, sayingH559, “ThisH2088 man will not beH3423 your heirH3423; 1but one whoH834 will comeH3318 fromH3318 your own 2bodyH4578 shall beH3423 your heirH3423.”

5And He tookH3318 him outsideH2351 and saidH559, “NowH4994 lookH5027 toward the heavensH8064 and 3countH5608 the starsH3556, ifH518 you areH3201 ableH3201 to countH5608 them.” And He saidH559 to him, “4SoH3541 shall your 5descendantsH2233 be.”

66Then he believedH539 in the LordH3068; and He 7creditedH2803 it to him as righteousnessH6666.

7And He saidH559 to him, “I am the LordH3068 whoH834 broughtH3318 you outH3318 of 8UrH218 of the ChaldeansH3778, to 9giveH5414 you thisH2088 landH776 to 10possessH3423 it.”

8But he saidH559, “LordH136 11GodH3068, 12howH4100 may I knowH3045 that I will 13possessH3423 it?”
