Genesis 22:14-24 Common English Bible (CEB)

14. Abraham named that place “the Lord sees.” That is the reason people today say, "On this mountain the Lord is seen."

15. The Lord’s messenger called out to Abraham from heaven a second time

16. and said, "I give my word as the Lord that because you did this and didn’t hold back your son, your only son,

17. I will bless you richly and I will give you countless descendants, as many as the stars in the sky and as the grains of sand on the seashore. They will conquer their enemies’ cities.

18. All the nations of the earth will be blessed because of your descendants, because you obeyed me."

19. After Abraham returned to the young men, they got up and went to Beer-sheba where Abraham lived.

20. After these events, Abraham was told: "Milcah has now also given birth to sons for your brother Nahor.

21. They are Uz his oldest son, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

22. Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."

23. Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These are the eight Milcah bore for Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

24. His secondary wife’s name was Reumah, and she gave birth to Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
