- 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。

- After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great."
- Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what will You give me, since I am childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"
- And Abram said, "Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir."
- Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir."
- And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and count the stars, if you are able to count them " And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."
