01:015:001 After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
01:015:002 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
01:015:003 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
01:015:004 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
01:015:005 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
01:015:006 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
01:015:007 And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
01:015:008 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
01:015:009 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
01:015:010 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
