1 Later the Lord spoke his word to Abram in a vision. He said,“Abram, don’t be afraid.I am your shield.Your reward will be very great.”
2 Abram asked, “Almighty Lord, what will you give me? Since I’m going to die without children, Eliezer of Damascus will inherit my household.
3 You have given me no children, so this member of my household will be my heir.”
4 Suddenly, the Lord spoke his word to Abram again. He said, “This man will not be your heir. Your own son will be your heir.”
