16 and said, ^h“By myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely ⁱbless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring ^jas the stars of heaven and as the ^ksand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his¹ enemies, 18 ^land in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”

13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you ^yswore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
