Genesis 22:16-24
16and said, “‘I solemnly swear by my own name,’ decrees the Lord, ‘that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be as countless as the stars in the sky or the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the strongholds of their enemies.
18Because you have obeyed me, all the nations of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using the name of your descendants.’”
19Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set out together for Beer Sheba where Abraham stayed.
20After these things Abraham was told, “Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor –
21Uz the firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23(Now Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.) These were the eight sons Milcah bore to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore him children – Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
