Genesis 22:17
"and said, “‘I have sworn by myself,’ says the LORD, ‘because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,"
Key Reflection
This statement underscores God's covenant faithfulness and Abraham's obedience as a demonstration of trust in God. By swearing by himself, God affirms the irrevocability of his promise to bless Abraham and through him, all nations.
