He believed in ADONAI, and he credited it to him as righteousness. (vi)

Some time later the word of ADONAI came to Avram in a vision: “Don’t be afraid, Avram. I am your protector; your reward will be very great.”

Then he brought him outside and said, “Look up at the sky, and count the stars — if you can count them! Your descendants will be that many!”

But the word of ADONAI came to him: “This man will not be your heir. No, your heir will be a child from your own body.”

ADONAI said to Avram, “Know this for certain: your descendants will be foreigners in a land that is not theirs. They will be slaves and held in oppression there four hundred years.

Avram replied, “ADONAI, God, what good will your gifts be to me if I continue childless; and Eli‘ezer from Dammesek inherits my possessions?

That day ADONAI made a covenant with Avram: “I have given this land to your descendants — from the Vadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates River

Only in the fourth generation will your descendants come back here, because only then will the Emori be ripe for punishment.”
