Und er hieß ihn hinausgehen und sprach: Siehe gen Himmel und zähle die Sterne; kannst du sie zählen? und sprach zu ihm: Also soll dein Same werden.
Y sacole fuera, y dijo: Mira ahora a los cielos, y cuenta las estrellas, si las puedes contar. Y le dijo: Así será tu simiente.
Lo llevó afuera y le dijo: «Mira al cielo y cuenta las estrellas, si puedes contarlas». Luego le dijo: «Así será tu descendencia».
Et après l'avoir conduit dehors, il dit: Regarde vers le ciel, et compte les étoiles, si tu peux les compter. Et il lui dit: Telle sera ta postérité.
Poi lo menò fuori, e gli disse: Riguarda ora verso il cielo, ed annovera le stelle, se pur tu le puoi annoverare. Poi gli disse: Così sarà la tua progenie.
Então o levou fora, e disse: Olha agora para os céus, e conta as estrelas, se as podes contar. E disse-lhe: Assim será a tua descendência.
於是耶和華帶他到外面,說:「你向天觀看,去數星星,你能數得清嗎?」又對他說:「你的後裔將要如此。」
