Number the Stars — Genesis 15:1–6

  
      After these things the word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision, saying,
GEN 15:1

      Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

    And Abram said,
O Lord Jehovah, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and he that shall be possessor of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?
And Abram said,
Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
GEN 15:2–3

    And, behold, the word of Jehovah came unto him, saying,
This man shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
GEN 15:4

    And he brought him forth abroad, and said,
Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them:
and he said unto him,
So shall thy seed be.
And he believed in Jehovah; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.
