2. And Aḇram said, “Master יהוה, what would You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eli‛ezer of Damascus?”
3. And Aḇram said, “See, You have given me no seed, and see, one born in my house is my heir!”
4. And see, the word of יהוה came to him, saying, “This one is not your heir, but he who comes from your own body is your heir.”
5. And He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens, and count the stars if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So are your seed.”
6. And he believed in יהוה, and He reckoned it to him for righteousness.
7. And He said to him, “I am יהוה, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.”
8. And he said, “Master יהוה, whereby do I know that I possess it?”
9. And He said to him, “Bring Me a three-year-old heifer, and a three-year-old female goat, and a three-year-old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
