14 L’Éternel dit à Abram, après que Lot se fut séparé de lui: Lève les yeux, et, du lieu où tu es, regarde vers le nord et le midi, vers l’orient et l’occident;
15 car tout le pays que tu vois, je le donnerai à toi et à ta postérité pour toujours.
16 Je rendrai ta postérité comme la poussière de la terre, en sorte que, si quelqu’un peut compter la poussière de la terre, ta postérité aussi sera comptée.
17 Lève-toi, parcours le pays dans sa longueur et dans sa largeur; car je te le donnerai.
18 Abram leva ses tentes, et vint habiter parmi les chênes de Mamré, qui sont près d’Hébron. Et il bâtit là un autel à l’Éternel.
