Genesis 22:16 in Context — Genesis 22
14 Abraham donna à ce lieu le nom de Jehova-Jiré. C’est pourquoi l’on dit aujourd’hui: A la montagne de l’Éternel il sera pourvu.
15 L’ange de l’Éternel appela une seconde fois Abraham des cieux,
16 et dit: Je le jure par moi-même, parole de l’Éternel! Parce que tu as fait cela, et que tu n’as pas refusé ton fils, ton unique,
17 je te bénirai et je multiplierai ta postérité, comme les étoiles du ciel et comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer; et ta postérité possédera la porte de ses ennemis.
18 Toutes les nations de la terre seront bénies en ta postérité, parce que tu as obéi à ma voix.
