And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Y en cuanto a Ismael, he escuchado tu oración: Mira, lo he bendecido, y haré que tenga muchos hijos, y multiplicaré grandemente su descendencia; será padre de doce príncipes, y lo convertiré en una gran nación.
Dios promete bendecir a Ismael con una gran descendencia y hacer de él una gran nación con doce príncipes.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In Genesis 17, God is renewing His covenant with Abraham, promising him numerous descendants through his future son Isaac, while Abraham is already a father to Ishmael through Hagar, Sarah's servant. Abraham pleads with God to bless Ishmael, and in response, God assures him that Ishmael will indeed prosper and establish a great nation, highlighting the cultural emphasis on patriarchal blessings and lineage in ancient Near Eastern societies. This promise underscores God's sovereignty in fulfilling His plans for multiple lines of descendants.
