16. and said: “I swear by my very self—oracle of the Lord—that because you acted as you did in not withholding from me your son, your only one,
17. I will bless you and make your descendants as countless as the stars of the sky and the sands of the seashore; your descendants will take possession of the gates of their enemies,
18. and in your descendants all the nations of the earth will find blessing, because you obeyed my command.”
19. Abraham then returned to his servants, and they set out together for Beer-sheba, where Abraham lived.
20. Some time afterward, the news came to Abraham: “Milcah too has borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21. Uz, his firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22. Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23. Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
24. His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore children: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
