Genesis 22:15-19
New American Standard Bible
15 Then the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, 16 and said, “(A)By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly (B)multiply your [a]seed as the stars of the heavens and as (C)the sand, which is on the seashore; and (D)your [b]seed shall possess the gate of [c]their enemies. 18 And (E)in your [d]seed all the nations of the earth shall [e]be blessed, because you have (F)obeyed My voice.” 19 (G)So Abraham returned to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived in Beersheba.
