Genesis 22:15-24
Genesis 22:15-24 TPT
YAHWEH’s angel spoke a second time from heaven: “ ‘I solemnly promise you, by the glory of my own name,’ decrees YAHWEH, ‘because you have obeyed my voice and did not withhold from me your son—your beloved son — I will greatly bless you! I will make sure your seed becomes as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand of the seashore. Your offspring will take possession of the city gates of their enemies. Because you have obeyed me, the entire world will be blessed through your seed.’ ” So Abraham and Isaac returned to the waiting servants, and they departed for Beersheba, where Abraham had settled. Some time later Abraham heard the news, “You’re an uncle! Milcah and your brother Nahor have eight sons: Uz, their firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, Chesed, Hazo, Phildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel the father of Rebekah.” Moreover, Nahor had another wife, Reumah, who also had four sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
