"Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth,"
Nel contesto
20Abraham was the great father of a multitude of nations, and there was not found the like to him in glory, who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him.
21In his flesh he established the covenant, and in temptation he was found faithful.
22Therefore by an oath he gave him glory in his posterity, that he should increase as the dust of the earth,
23And that he would exalt his seed as the stars, and they should inherit from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
24And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father.
