Genesis 22:15 In-Context

13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, "In the Mount of The Lord it shall be provided."
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
16 and said: "By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son--
17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.
