Genesis 22:16-24

16and said, “By myself I have sworn,” this is the Lord’s declaration: “Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son,

17I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the city gates of their enemies.

18And all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed my command.”

19Abraham went back to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham settled in Beer-sheba.

20Now after these things Abraham was told, “Milcah also has borne sons to your brother Nahor:

21Uz his firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel the father of Aram,

22Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”

23And Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

24His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
