Bereshis 15:2-4

Orthodox Jewish Bible

² And Avram said, Adonoi Hashem, what wilt Thou give me, since I go childless, and the Ben Meshek of my Bais is this Eliezer of Dameshek (Damascus)?

³ And Avram said, See, to me Thou hast given no zera; and, hinei, one born in my bais is my yoresh (heir).

⁴ And, hinei, the Devar Hashem came unto him saying, This shall not be thy yoresh; but he that shall come forth out of thine own body shall be thy yoresh.
