16 and said, |I have taken an oath to swear by myself,| declares the LORD, |that since you have carried this out and have not withheld your only unique son,

17 I will certainly bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in heaven and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the gates of their enemies.

18 Furthermore, through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed my command.|

19 After this, Abraham returned to his servants and they set out together for Beer-sheba, where Abraham settled.

20 Now after these things somebody told Abraham, |Look, Milcah has given birth to sons for your brother Nahor.

21 Uz is his firstborn, Buz is his brother, and Kemuel is the father of Aram,

22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.|

23 Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight sons to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

24 Also, his concubine Reumah gave birth to Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
