1 After these events the word of יהוה came to Aḇram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Aḇram. I am your shield, your reward is exceedingly great.”
2 And Aḇram said, “Master יהוה, what would You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eli‛ezer of Damascus?”
3 And Aḇram said, “See, You have given me no seed, and see, one born in my house is my heir!”
4 And see, the word of יהוה came to him, saying, “This one is not your heir, but he who comes from your own body is your heir.”
