Genesis 22:16–24

¹⁶and saith, ‘By Myself I have sworn—the affirmation of Jehovah—that because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one— ¹⁷that blessing I bless thee, and multiplying I multiply thy seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which is on the sea-shore; and thy seed doth possess the gate of his enemies; ¹⁸and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth, because that thou hast hearkened to My voice.’ ¹⁹And Abraham turneth back unto his young men, and they rise and go together unto Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwelleth in Beer-Sheba.

²⁰And it cometh to pass after these things that it is declared to Abraham, saying, ‘Lo, Milcah hath borne, even she, sons to Nahor thy brother: ²¹Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother; and Kemuel father of Aram, ²²and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel; ²³and Bethuel hath begotten Rebekah;’ these eight hath Milcah borne to Nahor, Abraham’s brother; ²⁴and his concubine, whose name is Reumah, she also hath borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah.
