17 että siunaan sinua runsain määrin ja annan sinulle jälkeläisiä niin paljon, että he ovat kuin taivaan tähdet tai hiekanjyvät meren rannalla, ja sinun jälkeläisesi valloittavat vihollistensa kaupungit.

16 and saith, By Myself I have sworn -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- that because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one --

17 that blessing I bless thee, and multiplying I multiply thy seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which [is] on the sea-shore; and thy seed doth possess the gate of his enemies;

18 and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth, because that thou hast hearkened to My voice.
