God led Abram and Sarai, all their camels, sheep, goats and servants to the land of Canaan. He told them "This is the land I will give to your children." But God did not want Abram to stop in Canaan. Not yet.
Abram and Sarai moved their tents to Mamre at Hebron. Year after year they wished for a child. Finally Sarai grew too old to have babies.
Then one night, Abram heard God say, "Look up and count the stars."
Abram saw stars blinking everywhere. "Someday there will be as many in your family as there are stars in the sky," God said.
Then God game Abram and Sarai new names. Abram became Abraham, which meant "Father of Many." And Sarai became Sarah, which meant "Princess."
