Commentary on Genesis John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
17. That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
17. Quod benedicendo benedicam tibi, et multplicando multplicabo semen tuum sicut stellas coeli, et sicut arenam, quae est juxta litus maris: et haereditabit semen tuum portam inimicorum suorum.
18. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
18. Et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae, eo quod obedivisti voci meae.
19. So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
19. Postea reversus est Abraham ad pueros suos, et surrexerunt, perrexeruntque pariter in Beer-sebah, et habitavit Abraham in Beersebah.
20. And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
20. Et fuit, posthaec nuntiatum fuit ipsi Abraham, dicendo, Ecce, peperit Milchah etiam ipsa filios nachor fratri tuo.
21. Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
21. Hus primogenitum suum, et Buz fratrem ejus, et Cemuel patrem Aram,
22. And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
22. Et Chesed, et Hazo, et Pildas, et Idlaph, et Bethuel:
23. And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
23. Et Bethuel genuit Ribcah: octo istos peperit Milchah ipsi nachor fratri Abraham.
