¹¹ But the ^(A)Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”

So he said, “Here I am.”

¹⁵ Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, ¹⁶ and said: ^(A)“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 ^(B)bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants ^(C)as the stars of the heaven ^(D)and as the sand which is on the seashore; and ^(E)your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. ^18 (F)In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, ^(G)because you have obeyed My voice.”

^13 (A)And behold, the Lord stood above it and said: ^(B)“I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; ^(C)the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. ¹⁴ Also your ^(D)descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad ^(E)to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and ^(F)in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. ¹⁵ Behold, ^(G)I am with you and will ^(H)keep^[a] you wherever you go, and will ^(I)bring you back to this land; for ^(J)I will not leave you ^(K)until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

¹¹ Then ^(A)the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, ‘Jacob.’ And I said, ‘Here I am.’
