- After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
- And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
- And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
- And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
- And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.

- 這事以後、耶和華在異象中有話對亞伯蘭說、亞伯蘭你不要懼怕、我是你的盾牌、必大大的賞賜你。
- 亞伯蘭說、主耶和華阿、我既無子、你還賜我甚麼呢.並且要承受我家業的、是大馬色人以利以謝。
- 亞伯蘭又說、你沒有給我兒子、那生在我家中的人、就是我的後嗣。
- 耶和華又有話對他說、這人必不成為你的後嗣、你本身所生的、纔成為你的後嗣。
- 於是領他走到外邊、說、你向天觀看、數算眾星、能數得過來麼.又對他說、你的後裔將要如此。
