Génesis 22:17-18

17 que te bendeciré en gran manera, y que multiplicaré tu descendencia como las estrellas del cielo y como la arena del mar. Además, tus descendientes conquistarán las ciudades de sus enemigos.

18 Puesto que me has obedecido, todas las naciones del mundo serán bendecidas por medio de tu descendencia.

Génesis 22:17-18 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.
