Genesis 22:16-18
16and said, “1By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly 2multiply your 3seed as the stars of the heavens and as 4the sand which is on the seashore; and 5your 6seed shall possess the gate of 7their enemies.
188In your 9seed all the nations of the earth shall 10be blessed, because you have 11obeyed My voice.”
