But (B)your name shall be [b]Abraham;
For (C)I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

Genesis 22:17-24
New American Standard Bible
17 indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly (A)multiply your [a]seed as the stars of the heavens and as (B)the sand, which is on the seashore; and (C)your [b]seed shall possess the gate of [c]their enemies. 18 And (D)in your [d]seed all the nations of the earth shall [e]be blessed, because you have (E)obeyed My voice.” 19 (F)So Abraham returned to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived in Beersheba.
20 Now it came about after these things, that Abraham was told, saying, “Behold, (G)Milcah [f]also has borne children to your brother Nahor: 21 Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel (the father of Aram), 22 Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel”— 23 and it was Bethuel who fathered (H)Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. 24 His concubine, whose name was Reumah, [g]also gave birth to Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.
