"I will Bless those you Bless you" ~ God's Covenant with Israel

2“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.a
3I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”b   ~ Genesis 12


The Lord’s Covenant With Abram
1After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision:
Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,a
your very great reward.b ”
2But Abram said, “Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inheritc my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?” 3And Abram said, “You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir.”
4Then the word of the Lord came to him: “This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.” 5He took him outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspringd be.”
6Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
~ Genesis 15
