Chapter 15
2 But Abram said, 'Lord GOD, what will You give me, since I am childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?' 3 Abram also said, 'Since You have given me no son, one who has been born in my house is my heir.' 4 Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 'This man will not be your heir; but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.'King James Version
Chapter 15
2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. 4 And, 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.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
2 But Abram said, "Lord God, what can you give me, since I am childless and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus? " 3 Abram continued, "Look, you have given me no offspring, so a slave born in my house will be my heir."
4
Now the word of the Lord came to him: "This one will not be your heir; instead, one who comes from your own body will be your heir."
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
2 But Abram replied, 'O Sovereign LORD, what good are all your blessings when I don't even have a son? Since you've given me no children, Eliezer of Damascus, a servant in my household, will inherit all my wealth. 3 You have given me no descendants of my own, so one of my servants will be my heir.'
4
Then the LORD said to him, 'No, your servant will not be your heir, for you will have a son of your own who will be your heir.'
English Standard Version
