Genesis 15:3 in Context — Genesis 15

1 Depois destas coisas a palavra do SENHOR veio a Abrão em visão, dizendo: Não temas, Abrão; eu sou o teu escudo; a tua recompensa será muito grande.

2 Abrão respondeu: Senhor DEUS, que me darás, sendo que não tenho filho, e o herdeiro da minha casa é Eliézer de Damasco?

3 Disse mais Abrão: Eis que não me deste descendência, e eis que meu herdeiro é um nascido em minha casa.

4 E logo a palavra do SENHOR veio a ele dizendo: Não esse não herdará de ti, mas sim o que sairá de tuas entranhas será o que de ti herdará.

5 E tirou-lhe fora, e disse: Olha agora aos céus, e conta as estrelas, se as podes contar. E lhe disse: Assim será tua descendência.
