The Covenant with Abraham: A Promise of Great Offspring
In Genesis Chapter 15, after previous events involving Melchizedek and the rescue of Lot, the word of the Lord comes to Abraham in a vision. Abraham expresses his concern about being childless and suggests that his servant be his heir, but God assures him that he will have his own son and his offspring will be as numerous as the stars. Abraham believes the Lord, and this faith is credited to him as righteousness. This covenant with Abraham is sealed through a unique sacrificial ceremony.
