¹⁶ And said, By Myself have I sworn, saith Hashem, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine ben yachid:

¹⁷ That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy zera as the stars of the skies, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy zera shall possess the gate of his enemies;

¹⁸ And in thy zera shall kol goyei ha’aretz be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My voice.
