WHV: Abraham's Descendants

"And the Lord came down and spoke to Abraham, and He said, "Lo, Abraham, even though thou art of great age, you will have a son, and your descendants shall number like the fingers of your left hand."

"So I shall have five descendants?" questioned Abraham.

"You are correct, Abraham," He replied.

"Why did you not just say five the first time?"

"I am the Lord your God, do not question my words unto you."

And from thence on Abraham was more confused about his Lord.

(Walker Hall Version, Genesis 15:5-7)
