Genesis 15:1

Some time later, the word of the Lord came to Abram (Hebr. Avram) in a vision:
"Do not be afraid, Abram!
I am your shield,
your reward,
very great."
[The last part can be interpreted as meaning that Abram's reward will be great or that the Lord is his great reward. Based on the context, it seems at first to refer to a material reward, but it may be a deliberate ambiguity in the Hebrew text. Abram had recently declined the offer from the king of Sodom to keep the spoils of war, and he had given a tithe to Melchizedek. Based on the response in the next verse, it seems that Abram interprets it as a material reward, but wonders what difference it makes when he has no heir. God, however, has something much greater than just wealth in store for Abram—he will become Abraham and be called "the father of faith" and receive the Lord as his reward.]
