Abram believed the LORD. As a result, the LORD accepted Abram as right with him.

After this, the LORD spoke to Abram in a vision. God said, ‘Do not be afraid Abram. I will keep you safe. I myself will give you many good gifts.’

The LORD took Abram outside. He said to Abram, ‘Look up at the sky. Count the stars. They are too many for you to count!’ Then God said, ‘That is how many descendants you will have.’

Then the LORD gave Abram this message: ‘No! Eliezer will not be the one who receives your things. You yourself will be the father of a son. He will be the one who receives everything that you have.’

Then the LORD said to Abram, ‘Be sure of this: Your descendants will live in a foreign country. They will be strangers there. People will do bad things to them and they will become slaves. This will continue for 400 years.

But Abram said, ‘Almighty LORD, there is one gift that I want. I still have no children. When I die, Eliezer of Damascus will receive everything that I have.

On that day, the LORD made a covenant with Abram. The LORD promised, ‘I give this land to your descendants. The land starts from the river of Egypt and continues as far as the Euphrates River.

After four generations, your descendants will come back here to Canaan. At that time, I will punish the Amorites because they do very bad things. But the time has not yet arrived that I will punish them.’
