helps the five kings regain their land
in the jordan valley
the king of saddam comes over to avram
and offers him the spoil of war and
remuneration for helping them
regain their cities
avram tells
the king of saddam that he doesn't want
any
thank you very much rather everything
comes from hashem
he also adds and i quote vela tomar
avram didn't want to give
merch the king of saddam
the ability to take credit for making of
ram wealthy rather because it's all from
hashem
after that
avraham does tell the king of siddom
rather you can
renumerate you could pay my friends
you can give the spoils of war to aner
eshkol and
mamre they were avram's advisors his
close confidants and they can take
the renumeration instead
at that point hashem
reminds and reassures avram that he is
going to have children not just students
rather he is going to have genetic
children who are going to inherit him
and continue his great work then hashem
takes avram outside and he tells him
look at the sky
usf
and count the stars
if you're able to count them the torah
says
your children are going to be as
numerous as a star again hashem is
promising
that his offspring will be
numerous
another interpretation is given that
hashem is telling avram
to
come outside
leave the stars not just look at the
stars leave the stars leave your
constellations leave your star gazing in
reading because yes according to the
stars
avraham and sarai are not able to have
children
but i'm going to change your names
you're going to become avraham
and your wife is going to become sarah
avraham and sarah are going to have
children
you
