Abraham's.
Genesis 15:5 Then He brought him outside and said, "Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them." And He said to him, "So shall your descendants be."
It is believed this verse is speaking of Abraham's spiritual descendants - those who are justified by faith not Abraham's natural seed, Israel.
Gal 3:7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.

Could The Bible be wrong?
Depends on what is meant by "wrong." The Bible contains numerous contradictions (cf. Bert Ehrman, Jesus Interrupted) as well as stories that seem at odds with the idea of a loving, gracious God. One thing to keep in mind is that the Bible is not one book but numerous separate books, written by various authors over a period of several hundred years - authors whose viewpoints conflict with each other.
