after Abraham had shown patience: Jehovah promised Abraham that he would become “a great nation” and that “all the families of the ground” would “be blessed by means of” him. (Ge 12:1-4; compare Ac 7:2, 3 and study note.) Jehovah reassured Abraham by repeating the promise while he was dwelling in Canaan. (Ge 13:16) Yet, at that time, Abraham still had no son. Finally, 25 years after receiving the promise, Abraham began to see God’s word coming true when Isaac was born. (Ge 21:2, 5) Then about 25 years after that (according to Jewish tradition), Abraham proved willing to offer up Isaac, and at that time, God confirmed His original promise by swearing an oath “by himself.”—Heb 6:13 and study note, 14; 11:17; Ge 22:15-18.
