THE BLESSED (NATION) OF GOD

12 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee:

To cause to prosper

To favour

: Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

: And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

: And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

: And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.

: And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

: And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
