Genesis 15:5 in Context — Genesis 15
3 Et Abram dit: Voici, tu ne m’as pas donné de postérité, et celui qui est né dans ma maison sera mon héritier.
4 Alors la parole de l’Éternel lui fut adressée ainsi: Ce n’est pas lui qui sera ton héritier, mais c’est celui qui sortira de tes entrailles qui sera ton héritier.
5 Et après l’avoir conduit dehors, il dit: Regarde vers le ciel, et compte les étoiles, si tu peux les compter. Et il lui dit: Telle sera ta postérité.
6 Abram eut confiance en l’Éternel, qui le lui imputa à justice.
7 L’Éternel lui dit encore: Je suis l’Éternel, qui t’ai fait sortir d’Ur en Chaldée, pour te donner en possession ce pays.
