Genesis 15:7 CPDV

⁵  And he brought him outside, and he said to him, 'Take in the heavens, and number the stars, if you can.' And he said to him, 'So also will your offspring be.'

⁶  Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.

⁷  And he said to him, 'I am the Lord who led you away from Ur of the Chaldeans, so as to give you this land, and so that you would possess it.'

⁸  But he said, 'Lord God, in what way may I be able to know that I will possess it?'

⁹  And the Lord responded by saying: 'Take for me a cow of three years, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years, also a turtle-dove and a pigeon.'
