Genesis 22:16-24

16and saidH559, By myself have I swornH7650, saith Jehovah, because thou hast done this thingH1697, and hast not withheldH2820 thy sonH1121, thine onlyH3173 sonH1121, 17that in blessingH1288 I will blessH1288 thee, and in multiplyingH7235 I will multiplyH7235 thy seedH2233 as the starsH3556 of the heavensH8064, and as the sandH2344 which is upon the sea-shore; and thy seedH2233 shall possessH3423 the gateH8179 of his enemiesH341; 18and in thy seedH2233 shall all the nationsH1471 of the earthH776 be blessedH1288; because thou hast obeyed my voiceH6963. 19So AbrahamH85 returnedH7725 unto his youngH5288 menH5288, and they roseH6965 up and wentH7725 togetherH3162 to Beer-sheba; and AbrahamH85 dweltH3427 at Beer-sheba.

20And it came to pass after these thingsH1697, that it wasH1961 toldH5046 AbrahamH85, sayingH559, Behold, MilcahH4435, she alsoH1571 hath borneH3205 children unto thy brotherH251 NahorH5152: 21UzH5780 his first-born, and BuzH938 his brotherH251, and KemuelH7055 the fatherH1 of AramH758, 22and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and BethuelH1328. 23And BethuelH1328 begat RebekahH7259: these eightH8083 did MilcahH4435 bearH3205 to NahorH5152, Abraham’s brotherH251. 24And his concubineH6370, whose nameH8034 was Reumah, she alsoH1571 bare Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and MaacahH4601.
