In Genesis 15 verses 5 to 6, according to the original text (see footnote below) the LORD promised/prophesized he who the only one will believe in the LORD and become obedient unto death (his faithfulness) will become (is) thy seed. Thus in the verse Gen 15:6 "he believed in the LORD ...", the "he" is Jesus (thy seed). [Notice "thy seed" in singular not plural, thus the LORD reminds us again in Galatians 3:16 "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.")
Gen 15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed* be. 1 15:5-6 and he said... Heb.: and he said unto him: So shall be thy seed, who believed in the LORD; and he (the LORD) counted it (his faithfulness--believing in the LORD and becoming obedient unto death) to him (thy seed) for righteousness.
