16 and said, “The Lord says, ‘Because you did not keep back your son, your only son, from me, I make you this promise by my own name:
17 I will surely bless you and give you many descendants. They will be as many as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, and they will capture the cities of their enemies.
18 Through your descendants all the nations on the earth will be blessed, because you obeyed me.’ ”
19 Then Abraham returned to his servants. They all traveled back to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20 After these things happened, someone told Abraham: “Your brother Nahor and his wife Milcah have children now.
21 The first son is Uz, and the second is Buz. The third son is Kemuel (the father of Aram).
22 Then there are Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
