2And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
3And Abram said, [I am grieved] since thou hast given me no seed, but my home-born [servant] shall succeed me.
3And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
4And immediately there was a voice of the Lord to him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come out of thee shall be thine heir.
4And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
5And he brought him out and said to him, Look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if thou shalt be able to number them fully, and he said , Thus shall thy seed be.

9And he said to him, Take for me an heifer in her third year, and a she -goat in her third year, and a ram in his third year, and a dove and a pigeon.

10So he took to him all these, and divided them in the midst, and set them opposite to each other, but the birds he did not divide.
