Kejadian 17:20

Konteks
17:20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you.³ I will indeed bless him, make him fruitful, and give him a multitude of descendants.⁴ He will become the father of twelve princes;⁵ I will make him into a great nation.

[16:10] ¹tn Heb “The Lord’s angel said, ‘I will greatly multiply your descendants….” The order of the clauses has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[16:10] ²tn Heb “cannot be numbered because of abundance.”

[17:20] ³sn The Hebrew verb translated “I have heard you” forms a wordplay with the name Ishmael, which means “God hears.” See the note on the name “Ishmael” in 16:11.

[17:20] ⁴tn Heb “And I will multiply him exceedingly, exceedingly.” The repetition is emphatic.

[17:20] ⁵tn For a discussion of the Hebrew word translated “princes,” see E. A. Speiser, “Background and Function of the Biblical Nasi’,” CBQ 25 (1963): 111-17.
