And he said unto him, I am the Lord that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it./And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?" From the context it is clear that God is comparing his seed to the stars.
"And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be./And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness." (vv.5-6) Considering the manner Abraham rescued his nephew from the hostile kins and their hordes, possessing the land on which was not in the impossibie realm but a womb as dead as that of Sarai being capable of fecundity was indeed mind-boggling for the patriarch.

In this case the Spirit repeats the Command number Three so there is no mistake the same Covenant where Israel is blessed in his Son." And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon."( Gen 15.9-10) Parents of Jesus could only afford ", A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons."(2.24)
