Sirach 44:19-21
Common English Bible
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
19 Abraham was the great father
of a multitude of nations,
and there was no smudge on his glory.[a]
20 He kept the laws of the Most High,
and he entered into a covenant with him.
He established a covenant in his flesh,
and when he was tested,
he proved faithful.
21 Therefore, the Lord certified for Abraham
with a solemn pledge
that he would bless nations
through his descendants,
that he would make him increase
like the dust of the earth,
exalt his descendants like the stars,
and give them an inheritance
from sea to sea
and from the river to the end
of the earth.
