16 and said, By myself I have sworn, says Yahweh, because you have done this thing, and haven't withheld your son, your only son,
17 that in blessing I will bless you, and in multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your seed will possess the gate of his enemies.
18 And in your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed. Because you have obeyed my voice.
