¹⁶He said, “I am taking an oath in my own name. I will bless you because of what you have done,” announces the Lord. “You have not held back your son, your only son.

¹⁷“So I will certainly bless you. I will make your children after you as many as the stars in the sky. I will make them as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. Your children will take over the cities of their enemies. ¹⁸All nations on earth will be blessed because of your children. All of that will happen because you have obeyed me.”

¹⁹Then Abraham returned to his servants. They started out together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.

Nahor’s Sons

²⁰Some time later Abraham was told, “Milcah has become a mother. She has had sons by your brother Nahor. ²¹Uz was born first. Then came his brother Buz. Next came Kemuel, the father of Aram. ²²The other sons are Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.” ²³Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah had the eight sons by Abraham’s brother Nahor. ²⁴Nahor had a concubine named Reumah. She also had sons. They were Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maacah.
