And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:

And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.

For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
