16 e disse: Jurei, por mim mesmo, diz o Senhor, porquanto fizeste isso e não me negaste o teu único filho, 17 que deveras te abençoarei e certamente multiplicarei a tua descendência como as estrelas dos céus e como a areia na praia do mar; a tua descendência possuirá a cidade dos seus inimigos, 18 nela serão benditas todas as nações da terra, porquanto obedeceste à minha voz.

16 and said, By myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah, because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, 17 that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

16 and said, "I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,

18 and through your offspring "all nations on earth will be blessed, "because you have obeyed me."
