And He said to him, 'So shall your descendants be.' 6Then he believed in the Lord; and He credited it to him as righteousness. 7And He said to him, 'I am the Lord who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess it.' 8But he said, 'Lord God, how may I know that I will possess it?'King James Version
