Genesis 15:4-6
4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir. ” 5 And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them. ” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be. ” 6 And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.
Previously Abraham's offspring had been likened to fill the land as numerous as dust.
Here as stars. Maybe it is a difference between the blessing of Ishmael and Isaac, the child of promise.
