Genesis 22:15-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. And the Messenger of יהוה called to Aḇraham a second time from the heavens,

16. and said, “By Myself I have sworn, declares יהוה, because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17. that I shall certainly bless you, and I shall certainly increase your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore, and let your seed possess the gate of their enemies.

18. “And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

19. Then Aḇraham returned to his young men, and they rose up and went together to Be’ĕrsheḇa. And Aḇraham dwelt at Be’ĕrsheḇa.

20. And it came to be after these events that it was reported to Aḇraham, saying, “See, Milkah too has borne children to your brother Naḥor:

21. “Uts his first-born, and Buz his brother, and Qemu’ĕl the father of Aram,

22. and Keseḏ, and Ḥazo, and Pildash, and Yiḏlaph, and Bethu’ĕl.”

23. And Bethu’ĕl brought forth Riḇqah. These eight Milkah bore to Naḥor, Aḇraham’s brother.

24. And his concubine, whose name was Re’uwmah, also bore Teḇaḥ, and Gaḥam, and Taḥash, and Ma‛aḵah.
