16 And said, By myself have I sworn, said the LORD, for because you have done this thing, and have not 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 heaven, and as the sand which is on the sea shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.

16 and said: By Myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one;

17 that in blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies.

18 And in your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.
