Genesis 22:15-18 ▼

15 And the angel of the LORD {YHWH} called to Abraham (father of many) from heaven a second time,

16 saying, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD {YHWH}, that because you have done this and have not withheld your only son,

17 I will surely bless you, and I will multiply your descendants like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will possess the gates of their enemies.

18 And through your offspring all nations of the earth will be blessed , because you have obeyed My voice.”
