Genesis 22:16-18

The Voice

Special Messenger: ¹⁶ Listen to the solemn vow the Eternal One has spoken: “Because you have done what I asked and were willing to give up your son, your only son, ¹⁷ I will reaffirm My covenant of blessing to you and your family.^[a] I will make sure your descendants are as many as the stars of the heavens and the grains of sand on the shores. I reaffirm My earlier promises that your descendants will possess the lands and sit in the gates of their enemies, ¹⁸ and from your descendants all the peoples of the earth will discover true blessing.^[b] All this is because you have obeyed My voice.
