The Waiting
1 After these things (A) the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "(B) Do not fear, Abram, I am (C) a shield to you; Your (D) reward shall be very great."
2 Abram said, "O LORD God, what will You give me, since I am childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"
3 And Abram said, "Since You have given no offspring to me, one (E) born in my house is my heir."
4 Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; (F) but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir."
5 And He took him outside and said, "Now look toward the heavens, and (G) count the stars, if you are able to count them " And He said to him, "(H) So shall your descendants be."
6 (I) Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.
-Genesis 15:1-6
