Genesis 22:18-24

18 All nations on earth will be blessed because of your children. All of that will happen because you have obeyed me."

19 Then Abraham returned to his servants. They started out together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.

Nahor's Sons

20 Some time later Abraham was told, "Milcah has become a mother. She has had sons by your brother Nahor.

21 Uz was born first. Then came his brother Buz. Next came Kemuel, the father of Aram.

22 The other sons are Kesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph and Bethuel."

23 Bethuel became the father of Rebekah. Milcah had the eight sons by Abraham's brother Nahor.

24 Nahor had a concubine named Reumah. She also had sons. They were Tebah, Gaham, Tahash and Maacah.

Genesis 22:18-24 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.
