The story
Count the Stars. Abram lives under the oaks of Mamre with Sarai. The years go by and they still have no child. One night, God tells him: “Do not be afraid, Abram.” Then he leads him out of his tent: “Count the stars, if you can. That is how many children you will have.” Abram trusts God, and a flame crosses the night as the sign of a covenant. Grandma Adjoua tells this story to Kofi, just back from the city, and to Nia, who wants to count every star.
The Bible passage
From the book of Genesis, chapter 15. Later in the Bible, Abram receives the name Abraham.
