13 Abraham looked up and saw a ram[a] caught by its horns in the thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.
14 And Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide,[b] so today it is said: "It will be provided[c] on the Lord's mountain."
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven
16 and said, "By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have done this thing and have not withheld your only son,[d] [e]
17 I will indeed bless you and make your offspring as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your offspring will possess the gates of their enemies.
18 And all the nations of the earth will be blessed[f] by your offspring[g] because you have obeyed My command."
19 Abraham went back to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham settled in Beer-sheba.

Rebekah's Family

20 Now after these things Abraham was told, "Milcah also has borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 Uz his firstborn, his brother Buz, Kemuel the father of Aram,
22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel."
23 And Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

Genesis 22:13-23 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 22

In this chapter we have an account of an order given by God to Abraham to sacrifice his son, Ge 22:1,2; of his readiness to obey the will of God, he immediately preparing everything for that purpose, Ge 22:3-10, of the order being reversed, and another sacrifice substituted in its room, which occasioned the giving a new name to the place where it was done, Ge 22:11-14; upon which the promise of special blessings, of a numerous offspring, and of the seed in whom all nations should be blessed, is renewed, Ge 22:15-18; after this Abraham returns to Beersheba, where he is informed of the increase of his brother Nahor's family, Ge 22:19-24.
