16 and said, By myself I swear, saith Jehovah, that, because thou hast done this, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only {son},

17 I will richly bless thee, and greatly multiply thy seed, as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that is on the sea-shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;

18 and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.

16 说： "耶和华说： ‘我指着自己起誓， 你既然作了这事， 没有留下你的独生子，

17 我必定赐福给你， 必使你的后裔繁多， 像天上的星， 海边的沙； 你的后裔必占领仇敌的城门。

18 地上万国都要因你的后裔得福， 因为你听从了我的话。’"
