14. So Abraham gave that place a name, “The Lord Provides.” Even today people say, “On the mountain of the Lord, he will give us what we need.”
15. The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time.
16. The angel said, “You were ready to kill your only son for me. Since you did this for me, I make you this promise: I, the Lord, promise that
17. I will surely bless you and give you as many descendants as the stars in the sky. There will be as many people as sand on the seashore. And your people will live in cities that they will take from their enemies.
18. Every nation on the earth will be blessed through your descendants. I will do this because you obeyed me.”
19. Then Abraham went back to his servants. They all traveled back to Beersheba, and Abraham stayed there.
20. After all these things happened, a message was sent to Abraham. It said, “Your brother Nahor and his wife Milcah have children now.
21. The first son is Uz. The second son is Buz. The third son is Kemuel, the father of Aram.
22. Then there are Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
23. Bethuel was the father of Rebekah. Milcah was the mother of these eight sons, and Nahor was the father. Nahor was Abraham’s brother.
24. Also Nahor had four other sons from his slave woman Reumah. The sons were Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
