遂攜之出、曰、仰觀於天、眾星可核數乎、又曰、汝苗裔必如是、

He took him outside and said,“ Look up at the sky and count the stars— if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him,“ So shall your offspring be.”

The Lord took Abram outside and said,“ Look up at the sky. Count the stars, if you can.” Then he said to him,“ That’s how many children will be born into your family.”

所以，从一个仿佛已死的人竟生出子孙，如同天上的星那样众多，海边的沙那样无数。

耶和华—你们的神使你们增多。看哪，你们今日好像天上的星那样多。

求你记念你的仆人亚伯拉罕、以撒、以色列。你曾向他们指着自己起誓说：‘我必使你们的后裔像天上的星那样多，并且我要将所应许的这全地赐给你们的后裔，让他们永远承受为业。’”

他在没有盼望的时候，仍存着盼望来相信，就得以作多国之父，正如先前所说：“你的后裔将要如此。”

我必多多赐福给你，我必使你的后裔大大增多，如同天上的星、海边的沙。你的后裔必得仇敌的城门，

他数点星宿的数目，一一称它们的名。

你的列祖七十人下埃及，现在耶和华—你的神却使你如同天上的星那样多。”

我必使你成为大国，我必赐福给你，使你的名为大；你要使别人得福。

以色列人二十岁以下的，大卫没有记其数目；因耶和华曾应许，必加增以色列人如天上的星那样多。

也不因为是亚伯拉罕的后裔就都是他的儿女；惟独“从以撒生的才要称为你的后裔。”这就是说，肉身所生的儿女不是神的儿女，惟独那应许的儿女才算是后裔。

正如天上的万象不能数算，海边的尘沙不能斗量，我必照样使我仆人大卫的后裔和事奉我的利未人多起来。”

你的后裔必像地上的尘沙，必向东西南北开展；地上万族必因你和你的后裔得福。

我要使你的后裔增多，好像天上的星，又要将这一切的地赐给你的后裔，并且地上的万国都必因你的后裔得福，

耶和华的使者对她说：“我必使你的后裔极其繁多，多到不可胜数。”

我要使你的后裔好像地上的尘沙，人若能数地上的尘沙，才能数你的后裔。
