17 että siunaan sinua runsain määrin ja annan sinulle jälkeläisiä niin paljon, että he ovat kuin taivaan tähdet tai hiekanjyvät meren rannalla, ja sinun jälkeläisesi valloittavat vihollistensa kaupungit.

16 Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

17 That I will certainly give you my blessing, and your seed will be increased like the stars of heaven and the sand by the seaside; your seed will take the land of those who are against them;

18 And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.
