New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
14 Abraham named the place Yahweh-Yireh (which means “the LORD will provide”). To this day, people still use that name as a proverb: “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
14
So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.”
15 Then the angel of the LORD called again to Abraham from heaven.
15
The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time
16 “This is what the LORD says: Because you have obeyed me and have not withheld even your son, your only son, I swear by my own name that
16
and said, “I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,
17 I will certainly bless you. I will multiply your descendants beyond number, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will conquer the cities of their enemies.
17
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,
18 And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”
18
and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
19 Then they returned to the servants and traveled back to Beersheba, where Abraham continued to live.
19
Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.
20 Soon after this, Abraham heard that Milcah, his brother Nahor’s wife, had borne Nahor eight sons.
20
Some time later Abraham was told, “Milkah is also a mother; she has borne sons to your brother Nahor:
21 The oldest was named Uz, the next oldest was Buz, followed by Kemuel (the ancestor of the Arameans),
21
Uz the firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram),
22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
22
Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel.”
23 (Bethuel became the father of Rebekah.) In addition to these eight sons from Milcah,
23
Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milkah bore these eight sons to Abraham’s brother Nahor.
24 Nahor had four other children from his concubine Reumah. Their names were Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
24
His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also had sons: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maakah.
