شرح للأطفال
Imagine you have no brothers or sisters and your parents say they will name your babysitter as the heir to your family's home. That's kind of how Abram feels. He tells God he's worried because he has no children, so he thinks his helper, Eliezer, should get everything. But he's asking God, 'Is this right?'
