16 and said, "I have sworn by myself, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 that I will bless you greatly, and I will multiply your seed greatly like the stars of the heavens, and like the sand which is on the seashore. Your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.
18 In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice."
