Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ and said, By myself, have I sworn is the oracle of Yahweh,––Because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one, ¹⁷ That I will, richly bless, thee, and, abundantly multiply, thy seed, as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea,––that thy seed may take possession of the gate of his foes: ¹⁸ So shall all the nations of the earth bless themselves in thy seed,––Because thou didst hearken unto my voice.
