13 Abraham looked around and saw a ram caught in a bush by its horns. He went and got it and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 Abraham named that place “The Lord Provides.” And even today people say, “On the Lord's mountain he provides.”
15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time,
16 “I make a vow by my own name—the Lord is speaking—that I will richly bless you. Because you did this and did not keep back your only son from me,
17 I promise that I will give you as many descendants as there are stars in the sky or grains of sand along the seashore. Your descendants will conquer their enemies.
18 All the nations will ask me to bless them as I have blessed your descendants—all because you obeyed my command.”
19 Abraham went back to his servants, and they went together to Beersheba, where Abraham settled.
