2. But Abram said, “Lord God, what can you give me, if I die childless and have only a servant of my household, Eliezer of Damascus?”
3. Abram continued, “Look, you have given me no offspring, so a servant of my household will be my heir.”
4. Then the word of the Lord came to him: No, that one will not be your heir; your own offspring will be your heir.
5. He took him outside and said: Look up at the sky and count the stars, if you can. Just so, he added, will your descendants be.
6. Abram put his faith in the Lord, who attributed it to him as an act of righteousness.
