Genesis 22:14-24
New King James Version
14 And Abraham called the name of the place, [a]The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: (A)“By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— 17 blessing I will (B)bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants (C)as the stars of the heaven (D)and as the sand which is on the seashore; and (E)your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 (F)In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, (G)because you have obeyed My voice.” 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to (H)Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
The Family of Nahor
20 Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed (I)Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: 21 (J)Huz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father (K)of Aram, 22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 23 And (L)Bethuel begot [b]Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.

19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba.(O) And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
Nahor’s Sons
20 Some time later Abraham was told, “Milkah is also a mother; she has borne sons to your brother Nahor:(P) 21 Uz(Q) the firstborn, Buz(R) his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram), 22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.(S)” 23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.(T) Milkah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.(U) 24 His concubine,(V) whose name was Reumah, also had sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maakah.

14 So Abraham called the name of that place, (A)“The Lord will provide”;[a] as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”[b]
15 And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven 16 and said, (B)“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 bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring (C)as the stars of heaven and (D)as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess (E)the gate of his[c] enemies, 18 and (F)in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, (G)because you have obeyed my voice.” 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to (H)Beersheba. And Abraham lived at (I)Beersheba.
20 Now after these things it was told to Abraham, “Behold, (J)Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor: 21 (K)Uz his firstborn, (L)Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram, 22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.” 23 ((M)Bethuel fathered Rebekah.) These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother. 24 Moreover, his concubine, whose name was Reumah, bore Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
