Genesis 22:14–24

¹⁴Abraham named that place “The Lord Provides”.^b And even today people say, “On the Lord’s mountain he provides.”^c

¹⁵The 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.” ¹⁹Abraham went back to his servants, and they went together to Beersheba, where Abraham settled.

The Descendants of Nahor

²⁰Some time later Abraham learnt that Milcah had borne eight children to his brother Nahor: ²¹Uz the firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, ²²Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel, ²³Rebecca’s father. Milcah bore these eight sons to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. ²⁴Reumah, Nahor’s concubine, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
