Therefore he assured him by an oath, that he would bless the nations in his seed, and that he would multiply him as the dust of the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars, and cause them to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river unto the utmost part of the land.
So the Lord assured him with an oath that he would bless the nations through his offspring, multiply him like the dust of the earth, raise up his descendants like the stars, and give them an inheritance from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth.
