14 E chamou Abraão o nome daquele lugar, O SENHOR proverá. Portanto se diz hoje: No monte do SENHOR se proverá.
15 E chamou o anjo do SENHOR a Abraão segunda vez desde o céu,
16 E disse: Por mim mesmo jurei, diz o SENHOR, que porquanto fizeste isto, e não me recusaste teu filho, teu único;
17 certamente te abençoarei, e multiplicarei tua descendência como as estrelas do céu, e como a areia que está na beira do mar; e tua descendência possuirá as portas de seus inimigos:
18 Em tua descendência serão abençoadas todas as nações da terra, porquanto obedeceste à minha voz.
