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.

17 minä runsaasti siunaan sinua ja teen sinun jälkeläistesi luvun paljoksi kuin taivaan tähdet ja hiekka, joka on meren rannalla, ja sinun jälkeläisesi valtaavat vihollistensa portit.
