19 Want Ek het hom verkies, dat hy aan sy kinders en sy huis n hom bevel sou gee dat hulle die weg van die HERE moet hou om geregtigheid en reg te doen; sodat die HERE oor Abraham kan bring wat Hy oor hom gespreek het.

19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
