Why? God could very well have told him that message in the comfort of the tent. But he didn’t; He caused Avram to go out of the tent. The message of Judaism from the days of Avram has to be taken outside to the world. The Jewish people cannot selfishly keep the lessons of the Torah to themselves. The place of God in our lives cannot be kept secret but proclaimed and publicized to the world. When we go out, look heavenward and see the stars, and point and say “God is in control of our lives,” then we can shine and be proud of our Jewish identity.
