16 en sê: Ek sweer by Myself, spreek die HERE, omdat jy dit gedoen het en jou seun, jou enigste, nie teruggehou het nie,

17 dat Ek jou ryklik sal seën en jou nageslag grootliks sal vermeerder soos die sterre van die hemel en soos die sand wat aan die seestrand is; en jou nageslag sal die poort van sy vyande in besit neem.

18 En in jou nageslag sal al die nasies van die aarde geseën word, omdat jy na my stem geluister het.

16 Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

17 That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;

18 And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.
